According to information from Hue City Department of Health, Care for Children is a charitable organization operating with the vision of “A world where every child can live in a family”. For many years, the organization has partnered with governments around the world to implement family-based alternative care models, creating opportunities for children in special circumstances to grow up in safe and stable environments while receiving love and support from the community.
In Vietnam, the project aims to strengthen family-based alternative care options for children in special circumstances during the 2026 - 2028 period. In Hue, the program specifically aims to strengthen and enhance the capacity of the child protection system by 2028, with priority given to developing family-based alternative care models. Through these efforts, every child will have the opportunity to live, study, and develop in a safe, stable, and loving family environment.

The city leader emphasized that children are always regarded as the future of the nation; therefore, protecting, caring for, and creating favorable conditions for their holistic development remains one of the locality’s top priorities.
Hue City People's Committee pledged to provide all favorable conditions for Care for Children to implement the project while directing departments and agencies to work closely with the Ministry of Health and relevant organizations to effectively carry out the proposed activities. The implementation of the project will not only help strengthen the child protection system but also demonstrate the commitment of authorities at all levels to ensuring that every child grows up within a family environment, thereby laying a solid foundation for the comprehensive development of future generations.
