Nha Tinh Thuong Dieu Giac, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

Thank you for visiting the site of the Dieu Giac Orphanage.

The Dieu Giac Temple Orphanage is located in SaiGon- Vietnam, where it shelters and cares for over 120 abandoned, orphaned or street children. They range from several months to 18 years of age and are of different ethnic groups and religious backgrounds. The children of the orphanage are taken care of by a group of Buddhist nuns and volunteers. All the children who reach school age, are sent to local school like other children. After school hours, the children learn handcrafting such as knitting, embroidering and making wooden toys.

Our goal is to provide the children with a safe and caring environment which lessens their misfortune and gives their lives greater purpose and meaning.

Being a private organization, the orphanage is facing many problems in trying to provide its children food, shelter, health and education. The nuns and volunteers at the orphanage have devoted their lives for the wonderful mission - helping the orphans. Yet they have limited human and financial resources.

Please help by making a donation or by volunteering yourself to work in the orphanage.

Your support, in any form, will be most gratefully received.
