For more than a decade, Kim Oanh Group has positioned itself as not just a leading real estate corporation, but a true advocate for community development. Through its Kim Oanh Foundation, which has recently been renamed Khoi Su Tu Tam Foundation, the company has consistently pursued philanthropic efforts that go beyond mere charity. This commitment has grown to encompass long-term community development, scientific research, and compassionate support for those in need.
A mission rooted in compassion
The foundation’s name change to Khoi Su Tu Tam Foundation, which literally translates to “Beginning with Compassion,” reflects a deepened focus on uniting compassionate hearts to support the disadvantaged. With a mission centered on charity, community development, and research, the foundation has become a vital network that connects resources from various organizations, political and social groups, and even international non-governmental organizations. Through this collaborative approach, Khoi Su Tu Tam Foundation has effectively served as a bridge between those in need and those willing to help.
A recent example of the foundation’s impactful work is its response to the call for disaster relief in the aftermath of the devastating typhoon Yagi. Kim Oanh Group and Khoi Su Tu Tam Foundation donated nearly VND5 billion, including VND900 million raised by employees and supporters.
The relief effort distributed essential goods, such as 150 tons of rice, financial aid, and supplies, across six provinces hit hardest by the storm. The foundation also provided personal encouragement to families affected by the flooding, showing that its mission extends beyond material support to emotional care.
A focus on children’s future
One of the foundation’s standout initiatives is the Cung Lam Cha Me project, which aims to support orphaned children in Binh Duong, Dong Nai, and HCMC. By nurturing these children in family-like environments and providing access to resources for their holistic development, the foundation ensures that they receive not only financial assistance but also emotional support.
Over the past year, this initiative has organized various activities such as summer classes, Mid-Autumn Festival celebrations, and holiday programs, all designed to foster a sense of belonging and growth.
Education and healing initiatives
In its quest to uplift the community, Khoi Su Tu Tam Foundation has also championed educational initiatives.
The “RISE UP” project works to reduce barriers to learning for students at the Reform School No. 4 in Dong Nai Province, helping them gain access to educational tools and resources. The foundation’s dedication to nurturing a love for knowledge was evident through its support of numerous activities at this school, where it provided books, gifts, and even renovations to create a better learning environment.
Meanwhile, the “Song Chua Lanh” project, literally meaning Healing Wave, has directly impacted the lives of children suffering from severe illnesses. In collaboration with the Vietnam Children’s Fund, the foundation has allocated VND10 billion to fund surgeries and medical treatments for children in hospitals across HCMC, Hanoi, Dong Nai, and Binh Duong.
A legacy of impact
Khoi Su Tu Tam Foundation’s impact is undeniable. Over nearly 15 years, the foundation has completed 1,167 programs, contributing close to VND400 billion to various charitable causes.
Its wide-reaching efforts have supported education, health care, poverty alleviation, and disaster recovery, touching the lives of over 232,000 people. From constructing homes to providing scholarships and healthcare, the foundation’s work exemplifies Kim Oanh Group’s unwavering commitment to social responsibility.
Looking ahead, Khoi Su Tu Tam Foundation is determined to continue expanding its reach. By focusing on projects that prioritize family-based care for orphans, support for underprivileged students, and medical aid for children with severe illnesses, the foundation is laying the groundwork for a more compassionate future. Its ambition to become a nationally recognized charity underscores its dedication to creating lasting, meaningful change.
As Kim Oanh Group continues to grow as a business, its philanthropic endeavors ensure that the company remains a beacon of hope and support for Vietnam’s most vulnerable communities. Through the power of connection and a deep sense of compassion, the group and its foundation are not just changing lives—they are transforming communities.
