Empowering Children - Equipping Families - Transforming Communities

In Memory of Charles DeVet, Founder of HSCV

It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of Humanitarian Services for Children of Vietnam's co-founder, Charles "Mr. Chuck" DeVet.

For more than 25 years, Mr. Chuck dedicated his heart to creating opportunities for children and families in Vietnam. His kindness, generosity, and unwavering belief that every child deserves the chance to learn, grow, and thrive became the foundation of HSCV and continues to inspire our work today.

Over the coming time, we will be sharing more about Chuck's remarkable life, his legacy, and the journey that led to the founding of HSCV. If you knew Chuck, we would be honored if you would share your memories, stories, or photographs with us as we celebrate his life. Please send them to annettadevet@hscv.org.

For those wishing to honor Chuck's memory, the family has requested that donations be made to HSCV in his name. Your gift will help continue the work that meant so much to him and ensure that his legacy lives on through the children, families, and communities we serve.

Thank you for keeping Chuck and his family in your thoughts and for being part of the HSCV community that he helped build.

Digital Access for All

Vietnam is shifting rapidly to online services, leaving many rural families struggling to keep up. In 2026, HSCV will launch a community-based digital literacy initiative that brings training, technology, and online safety skills directly to villages. We’re empowering children, caregivers, and communities to confidently access the digital world.

EQUIPPING FAMILIES

Watch Mr. Thắng's inspiring story and discover how one idea, with the right support, can transform lives.

From Hardship to Hope: Mr. Thắng’s Journey

In a small rural village, Mr. Thắng faced the daily challenge of supporting his family with limited resources. But with the support of HSCV’s Women’s Income Connection (WIC) project, everything began to change.

Through hands-on training and guidance in small business development, Mr. Thắng was able to grow his initial efforts into a thriving chicken farm. Today, he collects fresh eggs each morning—not just to feed his family, but to sell in his community, creating a stable source of income.

Thanks to WIC, Mr. Thắng is building more than a business—he’s building a future for his grandchildren filled with opportunity and hope.

OUR MISSION

Empowering children to build bright futures by providing holistic support to them, their families, and their communities, fostering resilience, education, and sustainable well-being.

WHAT WE DO

EQUIPPING FAMILIES

Investing in skills development and income generation, and small business training. The new skills and knowledge help to generate a sustainable income, allowing families to support themselves and contribute to their communities.

EMPOWERING CHILDREN

Providing financial assistance to families to ensure that children have access to the necessary materials to be successful in school. This not only helps to ensure that children have access to the education they need and deserve, but also helps to reduce poverty and give children a chance to have a better future.
