About Me


Hope Initative was incorporated as a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation in the summer of 2000. Based in Houston, Texas, the Charity operates several fundraising enterprises designed to raise donations for orphanages in Vietnam as well as community service activities designed to assist the local Vietnamese communities in Houston. The Charity's long term strategy includes expanding Hope Initiative’s Vietnam programs beyond the Charity's current network of orphanages, and developing a more robust community service program to incorporate other major areas with a high number of Vietnamese American residents.
Since inception, the Charity has distributed proceeds to over 25 orphanages in Vietnam and has generated over $70,000 in charitable revenues. The Charity distributes proceeds through a network of orphanages in Vietnam. To expand its recipient base, Hope Initiative continually seeks and researches humanitarian organizations in Vietnam, which could best use Hope Initiative's charitable proceeds.
- In many areas of Vietnam, 45% of the population, including many orphans, live below the poverty line. We are working to reduce poverty and improve living conditions in Vietnam.
- Many Vietnamese orphans are never given a chance to reach their potential because of poverty and lack of education. We hope to enhancing the lives of Vietnamese children through child development and advocacy.
- Fostering Vietnamese community development through educational and cultural enrichment programs.
