The D.O.V.E. Fund is a not-for-profit organization providing support to the poorest areas of Vietnam. It was founded in 2000 by a number of Vietnam Veterans who were contacted by the then-U.S. Ambassador to Vietnam, Pete Peterson. Ambassador Peterson's plea to the veterans was simple: some 30 years after the war, the Vietnamese people were still poverty stricken and in dire need of help.
Since its founding, the D.O.V.E. Fund has built over 44 schools, including 11 day care centers, three medical clinics, five major water projects, conducted medical missions, implemented an Emergency Medicine Residency Program and provided micro-finance programs for the poorest women in Quang Tri Province.
The D.O.V.E. Fund has also provided tuition assistance to more than 500 children, conducted workshops for English teachers, purchased computers, industrial sewing machines and other equipment for the various schools they have built. They have also and provided Braille computers and a Braille printer for the Hue School for the Blind and funded two computer centers for high schools. Recently, 50 latrines were installed in Hai An commune by The D.O.V.E. Fund in cooperation with Pulppy Company in Vietnam to provide hygienic conditions that reduce illness throughout the region.
Another wing of The D.O.V.E. Fund is the Bandage Brigade whose volunteers provide hand knitted bandages and relief supplies to the various leper colonies banished to the mountainous areas of the Asian nation.
The D.O.V.E. Fund raises funds through various events including an annual auction and golf outing, speaking engagements, special appeals, electronic contributions through our website, as well as book sales by various D.O.V.E. Fund authors. Since the year 2000, the D.O.V.E. Fund has raised over $2.5 million. To insure donors that their contributions are used to specifically support The D.O.V.E. Fund mission, trustees and friends of The D.O.V.E. Fund - at their own expense - make annual trips to Vietnam to conduct onsite reviews of our in-progress and completed projects. In addition, 100% of each donation reaches its destination for our Vietnam projects.
