Approximately 33,000 children live in government and private institutions in Vietnam. At the request of the Vietnamese Government, the NGO Care for Children will be setting up a pilot scheme to place such children in host families.
It is hoped this pilot scheme will become a model for future extension across the whole country.
Care for Children has successfully developed similar programmes in China and Thailand.

Fondation Dora has agreed to provide financial support to Care for Children to help develop this programme in Vietnam.
