The 15 May School is an organisation offering care, support and shelter to disadvantaged children living and working in District 1 of Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon). As well as offering the standard government curriculum to over 200 students, the school provides a range of vocational training programs to increase our students' skills and prepare them for the world of work. Confidence building is provided through performing arts such as circus skills and dance, as well as team building exercises and life skills classes.
In order to help our children achieve the most we try to find sponsorships for places at high school and university to ensure our students get the best possible start in life.
We also provide shelter and free medical care for over 20 children at the school who either have no family or do not receive support or care at home.
