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.

Story

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

16/10/2024

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.

Reflections from Beneficiaries Who Received Health Insurance Support

16/10/2024

Mr. Hoàng An Hải - Đông Hà: "Without health insurance, I was always worried, afraid of getting sick. Every time I got sick, I tried to push through, but the more I worried, the worse the illness became. Whenever I got sick, I would buy some painkillers just to get by. Many times, I didn’t dare go for a check-up, fearing they’d discover more illnesses. I sincerely thank the Center for providing me with health insurance."

Tăng Hùng An, born in 2003, and his twin brother Tăng Hùng Nam, also born in 2003, reside in Thôn 1B, Trà Tân Commune, Đức Linh District, Bình Thuận Province. Both brothers faced difficulties with language and learning. An's mother used to worry that her son would remain slow-witted, which caused her great concern. With the desire to help her children develop, she sought assistance from the Thiện Chí Center. In 2014, Thiện Chí visited the family, assessed the situation, and intervened to support both brothers. The initial phase was extremely challenging. Due to short-term memory issues, An would forget what he had learned quickly, but with perseverance from both Thiện Chí and the children, progress was made, one letter at a time. An studied from grade 3 until grade 6, at which point he stopped. By grade 6, An could read, write, and do math proficiently, and Thiện Chí evaluated that he had reached the necessary educational level to graduate from the program.
