Welcome and thank you for visiting our website "hope-for-tomorrow.de"

Hope For Tomorrow was founded to support HIV-infected children and AIDS-orphans in Vietnam. These children are stigmatized, treated with hostility and discriminated in the Vietnamese society.     We want to create a bridge to connect all the compassionate souls to the children affected by HIV/AIDS in Vietnam, who are still very much in need and have to face extremly difficult living conditions.     Our friendly society (registered association, register-number: VR 1213) Hope For Tomorrow was initiated by Hai Nguyen, a Vietnamese artist who lives in Germany since 2006, together with her husband.     For many years, Hai Nguyen has connected people and organizations who care about AIDS-orphans and children affected by HIV.     Together with a group of friends in Germany and Vietnam, we support children who live in the "Hope-Orphanage" in Hanoi.     We also arrange and maintain Godparents or sponsers for Vietnamese children affected by AIDS.     Furthermore other activities are planned, including the sale of paintings by Vietnamese artists sold to raise money to support the children.
