$70 donated
Given by 4 generous donors in 6 weeks

To help these children that are way less fortunate than us, to develop and prosper. $5 goes a long way in Vietnam.

Canterbury

Six years ago my husband and I started travelling to Hoi An, Vietnam, An Bang (a local fishing village) to be more precise. We fell in love with not only the food, but the absolutely beautiful people.

They are so kind and humble, but to our standards have nothing.

In the past years we have taken over suitcases full of winter clothes for the children, and school books in English language as the children as well as adults aspire to speak English.

This year I have had it suggested from a friend to set up ‘A give a little page’, so people could gift money.

By donating you will be gifting your money too a local orphanage, that our Vietnamese friend (Kim) and her family, lovingly gives her time and energy supporting.

There are 113 kids from new born to 13 years old

4 single mothers.

When I checked with Kim the circumstances of why these children are in an orphanage:

“These kids not lucky born in a poor family or no daddy want them, or young girl. They left in front of the pagoda and monks saw them. Many of them dead because monks comes late.

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
