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.

Detecting refractive errors in primary school students plays a vital role in protecting and developing children's vision. At this age, their eyes are still in the process of maturing. If refractive errors such as myopia (nearsightedness) or astigmatism are not identified and corrected in time, they may lead to serious consequences like permanent vision loss, which can significantly affect a child’s learning ability and overall development. Early detection allows timely intervention through appropriate eyewear or vision training, helping children study more effectively and improving their quality of life.
