Netherlands helps generate jobs for needy children in Kon Tum

A Dutch organisation, CORDIAD, has donated more than EUR9,000 to the central highland province of Kon Tum to help its disadvantaged children get jobs and improve their living conditions.

The money will be funneled into the provincial centre for social support of needy people.
Pham Chau Tue, director of the centre, said that the one-year project, which starts in July 2009, will benefit orphans, the disabled and child victims of AO/dioxin. They children will have the chance to learn how to weave brocade, grow organic vegetables and raise poultry and cattle to improve their living conditions.

Currently, the centre is caring for 155 disadvantaged people including 74 orphans, 75 disabled and AO/dioxin child victims and six lonely elderly people.
