Cleft lips and congenital facial defects. Burns from open-flame cookers. Lower-extremity wounds from moped accidents. These are some of the medical ailments the Vietnamese face, due to genetic predisposition, possible chemical exposure and the routines of daily life. Many talented doctors treat these patients, but their care may be limited by inadequate access to medical equipment and training.

VRE is making a difference on a number of fronts. We have sponsored hundreds of eye surgeries and cleft-lip surgeries. We bring doctors and nurses to remote villages where people get little, if any, medical treatment. Additionally, we care for Vietnam's children holistically by providing regular checkups to those attending the schools we build. Our goal is to keep people healthy.
