Ham Linh Shelter
Ham Linh Shelter is located in Gia Lai, the central highlands of Vietnam. This shelter currently supports Vietnamese orphans, abandoned children, and poor teenaged moms from ethnic minority groups residing in the rural mountain areas.
Teenaged girls in this area would become pregnant at a very young age. They do not have financial support from families so they would come to the shelter to seek for help with the delivery and care for their pregnancies and newborns. After giving birth to their children, some of them would abandon the children at the shelter due to lack of financial means to take care of themselves and their newborn babies.
Some of these children came from poor families in which the parents have cancer, paralysis, other physical or mental illnesses, which render them unable to care for their children. The Catholic nuns at Ham Linh shelter would bring children from these underprivileged families in the community back to the shelter to raise them and allow them to have a chance to go to school.
Be Vui Project raises funds to help support and provide education for these Vietnamese orphans and children at Ham Linh Shelter.
