Help Needed

This June, we are venturing into the most rugged, vertical terrain of Lai Chau, Yen Bai, and Son La. In these remote peaks, the mountain passes are so steep and the trails so narrow that bicycles are useless.

For these children, the “school bus” doesn’t exist. The only way to get an education is to trek for miles over jagged rock and mud—on foot. Many of them are making this journey in worn-out sandals or barefoot. This isn’t just a matter of comfort; it’s a barrier to their future. A single pair of durable shoes is the difference between a child staying home and a child making it to the classroom.

Our Goal: 1,000 Kids. 1,000 Pairs.

We have the logistics in place but we are missing the most critical component: You!

Please donate today, only $6 per pair!

It’s a beautiful morning at Vân Hồ elementary school in Sơn La! Today we broke ground on another VRS children’s community swimming pool. This one is our most ambitious pool build ever and is centrally located to serve thousands of families. Follow us and tag a friend!

It’s #givingtuesday Please support these kids with a generous donation for #health #education #charity #vietnam @stjohnschs @sjc_student_life @givingtuesday

VRS Mid Autumn Festival 2025 was a success thanks to your generous contributions! #midautumnfestival #newshoes

After practicing to swim in the #vrspools4kids pool, our first class of students swam in the river for the first time today. #swimclass #swimmingpool

We Did It!

Second Children’s Community Swimming Pool Delivered!

This pool is located in Lai Châu Vietnam and is accessible to hundreds of children who will use the pool to escape the hot sun, learn to swim, and socialize. We also hired an expert swim instructor to teach swim lessons throughout the summer and ensure that the kids are strong swimmers. Thank you for your support!

See you next time and thanks for donating bicycles! #vrsbikes4kids 2025

Thanks so much for your support! Bicycles are a game changer for these kids. Most of them walk 5 miles to school on Monday, stay in crowded dormitories during the week, and head back home to help their parents on the weekend. #vrsbikes4kids
