Scholarships
We provide scholarships for poor students, handicapped students, and orphans.
Many children in Vietnam never receive a formal education due to poverty. Hmong children often follow their parents to work in the mountains. Others roam the market places selling lottery to earn money to support their families. The Lovers of the Holy Cross Mission of Love provides scholarships to give children the opportunity to learn how to read and write, in hope of a better future.

Lambert Childcare
Due to the severe poverty in North Vietnam, many Hmong children are on the streets or in the fields working. Many children do not have enough food to eat. We provide childcare centers to:
-
Care for children under 3 years old so their brothers and sisters can go to school while their parents go to work in the fields.
-
Provide nutritious meals, so they can have a normal healthy development.
In 2022, we provided 2 childcare facilities that can accommodate 65 children.
