A Businesses Who Care National Sponsor

Organization Overview
About Us
We are building economically self-sustaining, environmentally green, high-tech Communities where street orphans will live in families with surrogate parents & grandparents. They will receive care, skills (life, work, computer), and education for their future and the future of their country. Businesses built into the Community to make it economically self-sustaining include aquaculture, green house, farm animals, agriculture and micro-businesses.
Who We Are
We are volunteers who realize that it is possible to build a self-sustaining non-profit that is environmentally friendly, is able to use profits from traditional businesses for humanitarian causes and who want to help the street orphans who have no one else to help them.
Our Organization's Mission
To design, develop and build modern, environmentally green, high-tech Communities where street orphans live in a family with surrogate parents and grandparents, receive care, skills (life, work, computer), and education to prepare them for their future and the future of their country.
Who We Serve
Street children who have no extended family to assist them.

What Sets Us Apart
Most orphanages continue to need donations to survive. With the businesses we build into a Community it will be economically self-sustaining, while at the same time providing jobs and skills training for the children.
Objectives for This Fiscal Year
Now that we have the land in Ninh Binh province Vietnam, we are raising the funds to do the on-site design, engineering, marketing, and environmental studies that will result in a bankable feasibility study. With it, we will obtain funding for the construction.
Recent Accomplishments
In Vietnam, our team has met with the President, current and past Vice-president, Prime Minister and others who support our project. The Ninh Binh province has donated property to our project. They desire our assistance in building a cellulose (non-food) ethanol refinery and will use the profits from it to construct the Orphan Community and a free services medical clinic.
