Thien Chi Center for Community Support and Development

Thien Chi programs

Microcredit

Our target beneficiaries are vulnerable communities and poor families having low income (under 1$/person/month), in need of capital to improve their household income. Unfortunately, they are unable to access government bank loans cause of the bank’s criteria.
We provide small credits (100$-250$) for beneficiaries, then we provide training on the knowledge related to their loan's models and monthly follow up them to ensure the loan’s success. After 6 months, we will recollect the loan. We measure its impact, then make a decision on granting another loan.

Education & Health

In rural areas, the knowledge related to emerging social issues such as health, environment or the rights of women is very limited. Children and students also lack of knowledge about dental health, sexual abuse, etc. Besides that, many poor families can not support their children going to school because of the school fees. This leads to a poor future for these children, and the inability for the families to escape the cycle of poverty.
Thien Chi programs are focusing on the schools and communities:
- In schools: thousands of scholarships are provided every year in 3 project sites
- In the communities: Thien Chi provides training for health, environments, women’s rights, etc.

THE FAMILY'S COMPANIONSHIP IN SPECIAL EDUCATION

26/11/2024

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.

Intervention for children with special needs

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"

The efforts to intervene in learning have now yielded results

One afternoon, we visited the family of Trần Đức Phương Trinh. Both her mother and Trinh recognized us immediately, even though many years had passed since our last meeting. Her approachable demeanor and familiar face stood out on the now 19-year-old girl. Trinh had been part of the special education intervention program since 2013. She had learning difficulties and tongue-tie, causing her to have a speech impediment. Every time we had conversations during the intervention, she would drool, and her hands would always sweat. She struggled to write each letter and to pronounce every syllable, making her efforts heartwarming and inspiring.

This is an optimistic woman, full of hope despite her many illnesses!

Ms. Nguyễn Thị Lành lives in Hamlet 7 - Nam Chính - Đức Linh - Bình Thuận. In the past, whenever I visited her, she would always complain about everything: "Oh dear, I feel so much pain, dizziness, constant fatigue, I can't eat..." But that day, when I visited her home, it was different from all the other times. There she was, with a fresh, cheerful, and lively face.
