VISION: BUILD 200 SCHOOLS BY 2026 GLOBALLY 
April  2025 Status:  177 projects 
164 COMPLETED  and  13 IN PROGRESS

​As former “Boat People” refugees from the Vietnam war, in everything we do, we believe in 2nd chance. We believe in giving differently. The way we give 2nd chance is by providing education to underserved children, creating jobs for forgotten parents, and empowering ownership to villagers. 
We just happen to build 176 schools & Educational Projects.  Want to help us build a school and leave a legacy?
