Maison Chance Organization

Maison Chance is a non-governmental organization (NGO), free from any political or religious ideology and has been recognized by Vietnamese authorities since 1998. The operating license of Maison Chance is updated every year. Since the end of 2007, Maison Chance has partnered with the Vietnamese organization “The Charity helping sick and destitute from Ho Chi Minh City”. Being associated to a local partner is required by the Vietnamese authorities. However, even if this requirement is applied to all NGOs, Maison Chance has always maintained its freedom of action, including long-term and short-term planning, hiring and internal organization. 

More than 100 people, both Vietnamese and from abroad, are employed, and a dozen volunteers constantly give their support to Maison Chance. Among the beneficiaries, around 40 people live at the Shelter, 86 are accommodated at Village Chance and 240 disadvantaged children, those living at Village Chance (about 30 families) and 180 disadvantaged children, those living at Village Chance and in the vicinity, are provided with free schooling and nursery. The fourth center in the province Đắk Nông hosts about 161 beneficiaries, and operating at its full capacity, will host 250 beneficiaries.
