Sister Chantal’s Projects
The orphanage is an organization subject to continuous
evolution. Its first priority is to keep its basic operations up and running,
that being the sheltering, education, schooling and the protection of its
children.
Aside from this essential vocation, Sister Chantal has
initiated several projects inside, as well as, outside the orphanage. All of these
projects are indeed, directly related to charity and to assist the poor
population in the surrounding community.

This project started in 2004. By mid-2008, more than 1000 water
taps had been installed.
The principle behind the project : An European family is financing
the installation of the water tap, at a rate of €50 each. This price includes the
tap, the water meter and the actual connection to the public water
distribution network

to a French association from Nancy,

Building Son Ca II, the new orphanage, is probably the biggest
project of Sister Chantal in Kim Long. The aim was to adapt the hosting
structure of our sheltered children to the new needs and challenges of
the Vietnamese society.
It was a huge work, which lasted 4 years and involved the
sponsoring of big charity associations, NGO’s and individuals. Son Ca II
should host shelter disadvantaged children for the next 50 years… .
