Christian humanitarian aid organization serving families in Vietnam. L.O.V.E. hosts short-term missions trips for medical groups, church groups, and others. Work with street children in Da Nang, provide emergency aid, more.

Love Of Vietnam Expressed, Inc. (L.O.V.E.), is a Christian social service/relief mission. The work began in 1981, serving Vietnamese, Cambodian, and Laotian immigrants arriving into the Pensacola, Florida area. L.O.V.E. (called “S. E. Asian Ministries” at that time) sponsored many families into the Pensacola area, working with many different churches to resettle Southeast Asian refugees.

We serve families in Thang Binh, Dai Loc, Thanh Quyt, and Hoi An areas of Quang Nam Providence and all Districts of Da Nang proving assistance to over 300 children through sponsorships and scholarships. This provides school fees, books, paper, pens, pencils, clothes and food. Most are in elementary school and all are from very poor families. They are referred to L.O.V.E. by the schools, SCP, local governments, and local churches. Each child is monitored as to health, attendance, behavior, and effort.

Our History

L.O.V.E. is a registered non-profit organization in the U.S. and a NGO (Non-Governmental Organization) in Viet Nam who, for over 25 years now, is seeking to improve the lives of the poorest children and families in Da Nang, Quang Nam, and surrounding areas. We do this by providing better opportunities to poor families to complete their children’s education by providing school fees, extra classes to enrich their studies, and extra help when needed, as well as by providing better health and dental care and better nutrition. We serve by offering hope to those without hope, and encouragement to those who have given up.

We currently provide assistance to over 300 children through sponsorships and scholarships. This provides school fees, books, school supplies, clothes and food. Most are in elementary school and all are from very poor families. They are referred to L.O.V.E. by the schools, other NGO’s, local governments, and local churches. Each child is monitored as to health, attendance, behavior, and effort

Our Mission

Sponsorships: With your suggestion and encouragement, L.O.V.E. began this program in 2007 where you can now sponsor a child, communicate with the child and family monthly if you want, and follow the growth and progress of the child. We now have three levels of the program to serve a child, a university student, or a family.

Student Homes: L.O.V.E. provides homes for poor Christian students who come to Da Nang from families in the countryside. Here the students get free or reduced housing, Christian fellowship, and learn and grow in a Christian family setting and receive training by local churches to serve God. These houses are also open to non-Christians. Our sponsored students are both Christian and non-Christian.

Scholarships: This is the oldest of our programs. L.O.V.E. began this program in 2000, which provides a scholarship large enough to enable a child to stay in school. If you provide a scholarship, you can communicate with the child and family when the scholarship begins. You will receive a letter and progress report at the end of the school year.

Medical/Dental: Our goal is to provide four to six medical or dental missions each year and one humanitarian mission. We have been able to work with the local churches to send Christian doctors and nurses on numerous medical missions, and L.O.V.E. directly sponsored one humanitarian mission. We have done several dental missions with local dentists in the past, but these missions require extra funding. Please pray for this need.
