VISION: BUILD 100 SCHOOLS BY 2025 GLOBALLY 
Jan. 2025 Status:  172 projects 
157 COMPLETED  and  15 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 172+ schools.  Want to help us build a school and leave a legacy?
