On May 27, regarding the case of an old woman being beaten at the Trang Khuyet Inn Shelter (Thanh Loc Ward, District 12), the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs said that this place is a branch of the Trang Khuyet Charity and Social Protection Fund LLC (the official name of this branch is the Center for Management and Support of the Homeless; operating under authorization).
Trang Khuyet Charity and Social Protection Fund Company Limited has a license to establish a social enterprise issued by the Department of Planning and Investment of Ho Chi Minh City, headquartered in District 1. Currently, this company also has other private charity facilities and branches located in Tan Binh District, District 8, and Hoc Mon District.
