Who we are
Created
by a group of Canado-Vietnamese from Québec City, Canada, Dât Lành Charity Fund started its activities in the fall of 2014, under the name Bo Dê before operating under its own name 2 years later. The Fund is a
registered Canadian charity (registration number 774228522RR0001) whose mission
is to provide relief to the poorest of the poor through donations that take
various forms, ranging from food, clothing, medicine, and assistive devices, to
school supplies and scholarships.
Our
priorities are people in needs in remote areas, in particular : 1) orphaned
children with disabilities, 2) poor and disabled elderly. Among them, children and elderly living in remote or mountainous regions are the most vulnerable. Frequent natural disasters, such as typhoons and floods, as well as serious diseases and severe handicaps—which are the legacy of many decades of war—only serve to make their situation more desperate.
The
Fund has no particular political, religious or racial affiliations. All members
of the Board of directors and their collaborators, whether they be in Quebec or in Vietnam,
have pledged to work as volunteers and in complete transparency. The fundings are from several community and private organisms, fundraising activities and mainly from individual donators. All the donations
received are earmarked exclusively for charitable activities and are sent
directly to the people we seek to help, with supporting documents and photos
kept as evidence.
How you can help
The
Fund relies heavily on the generous contribution of donors in order to sustain
and expand in the years to come the humanitarian mission it has set for itself,
that of relieving the suffering of the poorest of the poor so that they can
begin to smile and hope again, and have a better future.
All
reports on the Fund’s activities and its funding are posted on its website and
emailed to donors.
Tax
receipts are issued for donations of $20 CAD or more. Donations can be made
