In addition to providing loans to develop the economy, Thien Chi also carries out programs to improve community awareness through training:

Awareness about several common diseases: Breast cancer, respiratory diseases, seasonal diseases... This program gathers more than 500 participants per year and has a greater impact as the knowledge is passed on among the communities.

Women Rights: The goal of this program is to make the women's voices heard in their family. Through Legal Aid sessions, Women's Right community training help more than 300 women each year. It is difficult to change mentalities in places where the role of men and women has been clear for decades, but it starts with giving women tools to exist.

Medical support: One of the straightest ways to contribute is to cover the medical fees of a family or even their health insurance. The costs are usually way too high for the families and Thien Chi can step in, so does the government.

When speaking with the mother, we learned that her child faced challenges in participating at school and exhibited behaviors that made it difficult for the school to accept him. After consulting a doctor, the child was diagnosed with pervasive developmental disorder and delayed language development. His vocabulary was very limited, and his speech was unclear. He would cry and scream persistently when something displeased him and often said, “Oh no.” When he wanted something, he would pull someone’s hand and point, leaving strangers unable to understand him. The child’s developmental level was assessed to be equivalent to 19 months old.

We started working with children with special educational needs in 2008. At that time, we focused on capacity building for primary school teachers and established the "Hạnh Phúc" intervention room, where children with difficulties in school received support with life skills and learning outside of regular classroom hours. In 2012, we began visiting individual families to teach children literacy and numeracy and organized group sessions on social skills, a program known as the "Community Learning Box." In 2017, we initiated direct intervention at the center for hearing-impaired children—this served as a precursor to our current intervention program where parents bring their children to the center weekly. In 2018, we joined the "Narrowing the Gap" program of LIN and secured funding to begin "early intervention"
