Viet Nam Humanitarian Links

The following are organizations I'm personally familiar with and refer them with the greatest confidence that they sincerely strive to accomplish their humanitarian goals in Viet Nam.

Lotus Humanitarian Aid Foundation (LHAF) is a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization founded in 2006. LHAF provides humanitarian aid to needy individuals, families, and small communities in Viet Nam with an eye toward connecting the donors, staff, and beneficiaries on a personal, intimate level -- thus, promoting a meaningful relationship to all parties.

Aid from LHAF addresses the needs of the poorest within those categories (individual, family, community); helping them obtain basic needs otherwise unobtainable. Our work is not limited to but focuses on funding activities such as:
