Mission Statement
CHIA’s mission is to provide care for children from some of the poorest families in Quang Nam province. Our 3 primary areas of focus are Health, Education and Disability. We aim to provide very practical solutions, particularly to those families who would otherwise be unable to access the needed services. Our primary aim is to keep children within the care of their family whenver possible, and to minimise the risk of institutionalisation.
History of operations in Vietnam
CHIA is a grassroots organisation that was founded in 2006 by an Australian woman to provide Medical, Education, and Disability services to disadvantaged children and their families in the central province of Quang Nam. Since our first programs began in 2006, we have broadened our sphere of influence from Hoi An and Duy Xuyen district, to also include Que Son, Thang Binh, and Dien Ban districts, and critical cases throughout the province. In late 2009, responding to the effects of climate change, CHIA commenced a new program building and repairing houses for the poor who are most affected by frequent severe floods and typhoons. From mid 2010, CHIA assists the local government to run the Hoi An Children's Home (a residence for 30 children)
