Welcome to the Kianh Foundation

"transforming the lives of children with special needs and their families"

The Kianh Foundation is a small, grass-roots UK charity that has 11 years of experience delivering specialist education and health services to children with disability in Vietnam.

We have built a purpose-designed Day Centre for children with disability in Dien Ban district (10 minutes from Hoi An City) to address a critical gap in community-based services.

Each year, our Day Centre aims to support at least 100 children with disability and 600 parents and families.

The Foundation was set up in 2001 to address the drastic need for improved care and development for children with disability living in Hoi An. It is the longest-established NGO (Non-Governmental Organisation) operating full-time in Hoi An and has no religious, political or governmental affiliations.

Where we work

We work in Dien Ban District and have an office in Hoi An City.

Dien Ban Day Centre, Dien Ban District

Dien Ban has over 1,000 children with disability, the majority of whom have no access to essential education and therapy services.

The Kianh Foundation's Day Centre opened in April 2012. It is the first of its kind in the region and will significantly improve the lives of the children and their families.

Over the coming years, a comprehensive range of multi-disciplinary services will be introduced, from early intervention through to social work and vocational training.

Our work is primarily focused on providing:

• Special Education

• Physical Therapy

• Life Skills

• Basic Health Care
