SOS Children's Village Hanoi was established in 1988 and officially came into operation in January 1990 with the main function and task of receiving, caring for and raising orphans, abandoned children and children in especially difficult circumstances according to the alternative family model.

With the attention of the Government and authorities at all levels, local SOS Children's Villages have been established in Vietnam. In those Villages are SOS families that are always filled with laughter, love from mothers and sharing from brothers, sisters and children.

After more than 30 years of operation, the Village has cared for and raised nearly 600 children in special circumstances, of which nearly 400 have grown up to live independently, some of whom have their own happy families. Currently, the Village is directly caring for and raising more than 200 children.

Here, the two Ladies visited a household in the Village.

The two Ladies expressed their hope that the officers, employees and especially the mothers in the Village will continue to fulfill their duties of caring for and nurturing abandoned children, orphans with no one to rely on and children in special circumstances.

The two ladies received hairpins made and given by the children in the family.

Ms. Le Thi Bich Tran and Ms. Wan Azizah Wan Ismail expressed their impression that 400 children have grown up from SOS Village and succeeded in life. At the same time, they told the 200 children being cared for and raised here that although they may face difficulties in life, this will be an environment for them to study, a home where they are cared for.

The visit of the two First Ladies of the Prime Ministers of Vietnam and Malaysia left many deep impressions and was a valuable source of encouragement for the staff and teachers to strive to fulfill their assigned tasks.

The two ladies took souvenir photos with staff and children at the Village.

Saying goodbye to the Prime Minister's wife, Mrs. Le Thi Bich Tran and the children at the Village, Mrs. Wan Azizah Wan Ismail expressed that Vietnam is a country that has gone through a long history with many wars, but the country and the Vietnamese people have always risen strongly. She sent a message to the children to continue to contribute and continue to promote the tradition of their ancestors in Vietnam, a country of "self-reliance and self-reliance".
