Since its establishment over 30 years ago, the facility, which is under the Hanoi Department of Labour, Invalids, and Social Affairs, has received and cared for over 500 children in special circumstances. Here, they have conditions to learn and participate in cultural and sports activities, receive career advice, and are helped to seek jobs so as to stabilise their life and re-integrate into the community, according to Huyen.
