COMMUNITY INVESTMENT

Bridging Vietnam's Divide

Collaboration at the community level is vital to our mission at HSCV. We believe that community collaboration and involvement are key to achieving meaningful and lasting change. Through our Community Investment activities, we support a variety of community-based projects that aim to uplift and empower local communities. Our initiatives include investing in schools, building community-based clubs, supporting women's unions, and investing in community learning centers and village meeting halls.

Digital Access for all

Vietnam’s Digital Transformation Agenda (DTA) aims to build a digital-first nation by 2030, promising greater convenience, innovation, and efficiency. New government platforms like iHanoi, VNiED, and other emerging apps are designed to help citizens register for services, pay fees, access social benefits, and communicate with local authorities.

For many, this shift will make daily life easier.

But for others, it creates new barriers.

Especially in rural communities, elderly residents, low-income families, and those without smartphones or basic digital skills are at risk of being left behind. As physical service points close and tools move online, these groups face increasing difficulty accessing essential services, information, and opportunities.

To ensure no one is excluded, HSCV is our Digital Access for All Initiative in 2026 a core component of our Community Investment activities. Our goal is simple: equip communities with the confidence, knowledge, and safe access they need to participate fully in a digital society.

We’ll work closely with local leaders to bring practical, easy-to-understand training directly to villages. These sessions will guide people through real-life tasks such as using government apps, making online payments, communicating with local authorities, and accessing essential services. Alongside these skills, we’ll also teach vital online safety practices, including how to spot scams, protect personal information, and avoid misinformation.

To strengthen long-term impact, we’re investing in technology for community centers, including computers, printers, and safe access points where individuals can get help or complete online tasks. We’ll also train local "community digital champions", community leaders who will continue supporting their village long after the initial workshops are done.

Beginning in 2026, we will also weave digital literacy and safety into our existing programs. Blossom students will develop digital learning and communication skills, and women in our WIC program will receive practical guidance to support their businesses and daily life.

As Vietnam modernizes, our aim is to ensure that no one is left behind. Through this initiative, HSCV is helping children, families, and entire communities access the digital world safely, confidently, and independently.

The Digital Access for All Initiative is more than just teaching people how to use online services; it fosters independence among the most vulnerable, builds confidence and self-belief, and creates stronger communities.

By strengthening both the people and the places that hold communities together, HSCV helps create environments where children and families can learn, grow, and feel supported.

INVESTING IN SCHOOLS

Building brighter futures

HSCV's School Support initiative aims to transform the educational landscape in rural Vietnam. Since 2003, we have connected numerous schools, providing them with much-needed resources and support. Through generous donations, we have been able to install essential facilities like a kitchen and a vibrant library, stocked with a wide variety of books. These additions have resulted in remarkable improvements in attendance and academic achievement among the students. The schools are now working towards implementing a mobile library to ensure greater educational access for children throughout the village.

Our Sister School connection enables donors to directly connect with schools and students through various means like photos, letters, and videos. In some cases, donors even have the opportunity to travel to Vietnam, personally presenting their donations and volunteering their time. All funds raised for schools are invested in their priority areas, making a lasting impact on the students' lives.

HSCV firmly believes that investing in education and empowering communities can create a brighter future for all.

COMMUNITY EDUCATION AND ENGAGEMENT

Making Change from within Possible

HSCV strengthens rural communities by investing in the spaces, resources, and community groups that help children and families thrive. We work closely with local leaders to identify needs and improve shared infrastructure that benefits the whole village.

We renovate and equip community centers, providing furniture, computers, learning materials, and upgrades that make these spaces safe, functional, and welcoming. These hubs become active gathering places for youth groups, caregiver workshops, school events, and community-led activities.

HSCV also supports the development of playgrounds, outdoor learning areas, and small infrastructure improvements that create safer, more engaging environments for children. These spaces encourage play, social connection, and emotional well-being, key components of healthy development.

Alongside physical upgrades, we work with community groups, women’s unions, parent networks, and youth clubs to build confidence, leadership, and the skills needed to sustain these improvements.

PLAYGROUND REVITALIZATION FOR YOUNG MINDS

We're thrilled to share the positive impact of HSCV's School Investment Program on early education. Two local kindergartens have undergone a remarkable transformation as their playground equipment received a much-needed upgrade. Years of wear and tear, compounded by harsh weather conditions, had taken a toll on the previous equipment. Through our dedicated efforts, we've replaced damaged and unsafe elements, ensuring a secure and enriching play environment for the children.

Safe Play, Bright Futures

We firmly believe that providing safe and age-appropriate playground equipment is vital for the physical and mental development of young children. Beyond the sheer joy of play, these spaces contribute to the growth of their social skills, encourage cooperative activities, and extend their playtime. All of these elements play a significant role in nurturing their holistic development.

Empowering Tomorrow's Leaders

Our commitment to enhancing early education environments isn't limited to physical well-being; it extends to creating an overall enriching school experience. By investing in playgrounds, we're investing in the future. Our endeavor aims to shape today's children into the confident and capable leaders of tomorrow. Join us in this meaningful journey of empowering the next generation.
