In remote and impoverished rural areas, demands for quality child care are as high as at any other places, since it is still necessary that  both parents work away from home.  Youngsters are left mostly unattended with aging grand parents, or allowed to roam freely with their buffaloes and other farm animals.

To alleviate this concern, in partnership with many groups such as Hoa Sen Canada, Funds Aid For Vietnam-Canada, JJR-MC 69, and notably Đức Sơn Temple which manages the schools in Huế, VHI has built mostly pre-schools for children ages 2-5 and provide them a head start education. To date, VHI has build 18 schools in the central and south provinces of Vietnam.
