Context
: Mission Enfance
has been working in Vietnam for
15 years. Our action takes place
in two regions : Saïgon and
the High-Plateaux. On Saïgon,
we work with the "Filles de
la Charité" congregation
which takes on the children who
there live with their parents under
cardboard roofs. These children,
thanks to the sponsoring given by
Mission Enfance on 5 centres of
Saïgon and another of the High-Plateaux
in Kontum, have access to eduction,
but are also lodged, fed and well
taken care of. On the High-Plateaux,
the problem is different. The ethnic
minority of this region of Middle-South
Vietnam, is victim of a tiring vigilance
on behalf of the local authorities.
Mission Enfance has been working
for the Bahnar minority since 1992
in order to offer a decent education
to the children of this region.
80 schools have consequently been
built on the High-Plateaux. The
Banhars are also facing serious
hygiene problems in this region.
Malaria kills many children each
year. This is why Mission Enfance
hands out, whenever a school building
is constructed, citronella impregnated
mosquito nets. This year, professional
training will be emphasized, by
the equipment of sewing training
classes on the High-Plateaux. Also,
access to micro-credit will be initiated
by François-Xavier Ngip-Ran,
our coordinator. |
