Service without limitations, Eden donated the emergency allowance for the association for the support of people with Disabilities and Orphans of HCMC in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, in the late December in 2021. The total amount for each person is about US$815 dollars, which includes the emergency allowance of US$70 dollars and living materials of almost US$13 dollars.

In Vietnam, starting from April 2021, the Covid-19 pandemic had its most serious outbreak in the southern provinces. With the number soaring up to 10,000 new infection cases in July, this dire situation led to strict lockdowns for both Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi, which lasted for three months. This situation certainly affected people's basic income and livelihood. Needless to say, it brought even greater economic pressures for those marginalized minorities.

Based on the statistics from the Vietnam Ministry of Education and Training, there are about 1,517 children who lost their parents to the Covid-19, leaving about 300 orphans with no basic allowance for their daily needs. To help them get through these desperate circumstances, we worked with the Vietnam Friendship Association of Vinh Long Province, and Ho Chi Minh City Disabled and Orphaned Children's Aid Association by providing financial support to 45 children. Each child would receive US$87 in total,. We hope through this subsidy, their daily expenses can be covered for a time, and their pain caused by this pandemic can be slightly soothed.

Eden Social Welfare Foundation has a long history of serving people in need in Vietnam. Throughout the years, we have helped marginalized groups, especially people with physical and mental disabilities, as well as a low-income families. Eden understands their daily-life struggles and difficulties. That's why we provide necessary support such as employment and job training, mobility aids like wheelchairs and canes, and providing daily meals for the low-income elderly. With almost 20 years of serving people with physical and mental disabilities, and the low-income families in Vietnam, Eden Social Welfare Foundation has built a long-lasting relationship with the locals and strived to improve their lives. Because when Eden sees people in need, we put it into action and bring the most precious gift to them - God's love.
