The RNDM Sisters have a mission in the villages of Vinh Trang that belongs to Nha Trang Diocese. There are five villages where majority of the people are from the Raglai ethnic group. Each village has from 100 to 300 households and they are illiterate, very poor and have limited living conditions. They lack access to information which prevent these people from taking advantage of new opportunities. In most villages, the children and woman are left behind and many of the ethnic minorities in rural areas are hardest hit by poverty. They do not have enough water and land to cultivate. They go to the mountain to plant corn trees to change the waste land into small cultivatable areas. Most of them are labourers, who often do not have enough food for their families and their lives seem unstable. As a result, their children cannot afford to go to schools. Generally, the ethnic minority have find life very hard as they have been isolated and marginalized and find little hope for a better life.
Responding to the needs of these people, we have opened the home to welcome ethnic minority girls and destitute indigenous children from these villages to give them opportunities for education that gives them a brighter future.
