International Needs Vietnam’s initiative supports terminally ill patients by providing nourishing meals and free haircuts at local hospitals. As these patients often lack access to basic necessities, the project brings essential care and comfort. The team seeks to extend its impact, offering more meals and services to those in need.
Quick Facts
In one of the few remaining communist countries, Christianity is viewed with suspicion, and Christian materials face restrictions. Despite these challenges, INNZ supports national church workers and evangelists in Vietnam to spread the gospel to those who have not yet heard it.
Additionally, INHAT supports a local hospital outside Ho Chi Minh City that provides essential medical care to villages with limited access to healthcare. This dual approach helps address both spiritual and physical needs in the region.
