Who we are & What we do
Hands For Hope Inc is a non-profit, non-political, non-sectarian and non-religious charity organisation established by a group of young Vietnamese Australians. H4H was inaugurated in August 2000 and was formally and legally registered in Australia on 23rd March 2001 as Hands for Hope Inc. (Also know as Gop Mot Ban Tay) under the 1981 Incorporation Act, Registration number A0040881V. All H4H members are un-paid volunteers and our projects are directly managed by our dedicated and passionate members. We inspire a culture of professionalism, innovation and active community participation. Our project funding is obtained through public donations, business sponsorships, fundraising appeals organised by members and partners of the association.
Our Mission
Strive to help disadvantaged children in Vietnam so that they may become self sufficient to lead a healthy and productive life within their community.
Our Brief History
In November 1999, organisation of urgent relief for Linda Cyclone victims in central Vietnam brought together numerous organisations within the Vietnamese community in Australia. These organisations included the Vietnamese Professional Society, Hoa Nien Youth Group, Vietnamese Student Association, VoVinam, and the Vietnamese Women's Association. Some members of the participating organisations intended the group to continue so that future relief operations could be mobilised more efficiently, effectively and at a larger scale. Today, H4H projects focus on Education and Training, Medical and Infrastructure Programs for the very disadvantaged children of Vietnam.
Our Team
Hands for Hope currently has over 50 members and is committed to encourage all our members to take active roles in every aspect of H4H's activities. We passionately believe in the benefit of volunteering for young people and their community.
