Rose Vietnam's strength is flexibility

Flexibilty is a key success factor in our operation. Rose Vietnam allows donations to be earmarked for a particular cause that a donor wishes to support.

Such a cause or project can be one of many that Rose Vietnam is currently involved with or a donor may suggest an entirely new project, as long as it meets our mission and objectives.

As an example, we had accepted donation to Yen Bui from a donor in Toronto through Rose Vietnam mobile cataract clinic ($1,000). The money will be directed toward cataract surgeries via Rose Vietnam partnership program.

It is fair and logical to customize and allow maximal control of the fund distribution to our donors. We want to address the problem that many people experience after making contribution to large, international charitable organizations and not being able to take an active role in the process, even in the financial sense.

Rose Vietnam works directly with you, your projects and our projects...

Fund Raising at Canada Rocks Concert in HCM City



A KISS FROM A ROSE
By Libby Zinman Schwartz

This time the kiss was from Rose Charities, a Canadian group of non-governmental organizations with a common goal: to rehabilitate people to function more productively in their lives.

One of the many needs Rose Charities fulfills is eye surgery for sight restoration. On the evening of February 16, at the residence of the Canadian Consul General, Bill Johnston, Rose Charities and the Canadian Consulate fulfilled the dream of many sightless Vietnamese and Dr. Tran Cong Toai, Orthopedic Surgeon and Vice Chairman of the Biomaterial Research Laboratory, Ho Chi Minh City, by raising thousands of dollars for an eye bank.
