The Teach Me To Fish Program and Agent Orange
Like many handicaps and disabilities, the ailments associated with Agent Orange present a lifelong challenge. Children and adults can learn to cope with their disabilities and can often live fulfilling and meaningful lives. But their problems do not go away when they turn 18.
Kids Without Borders’ Teach Me to Fish (TM2F) project is a program that provides support services, educational scholarships and job training to underserved children in Vietnamese (orphans, street children, ...). The program’s recent focus has been with young people at the Thanh Xuan Peace Village in Hanoi – a facility that provides treatment, rehabilitation and education to children affected by Agent Orange. TM2F supports these children after they turn 18 and are no longer eligible for care at the Thanh Xuan Peace Village.
You can help these young adults transition to life on their own by providing scholarships and support for continuing education, vocational training, health care and living necessities. Please contatc Kids Without Borders info@kidswithnoborders.org and learn more on how you can help making a difference for these children.
Agent Orange in Viet Nam

Thanh Xuan Peace Village
Meet Nga who has lived in the Peace Village for the last 11 years. Nga was born with a skin condition and it was diagnosed that her condition is linked to Agent Orange which was exposed to her parents when they served in the war.
Nga completed 12th grade in high school and she is in the process of taking the National University Entrance Exam. She wished that she will be able to attend college, but she knew it would not be easy. Only a small percentage of high school students would annually pass the exam to qualify for entry to university. Then the bigger obstacle is the ability to afford the costs.
What is next for this young woman?
