The launch of a pilot project, to place children living in institutions in foster families, was announced by Ms. Dao Hong Lan, Ministry of Labour, Invalids, and Social Affairs (MOLISA) and by Mr Robert Glover, Founder and Executive Director of the UK NGO Care for Children during a ceremony held on 20th November in Hanoi. The project will initially be implemented at two sites: Hanoi and Thai Nguyen City. If the results are positive, the project will be extended to sites across Vietnam.
Care for Children, with the financial support of Fondation Dora, is managing this pilot project in cooperation with the Vietnamese government.
