The Tu An Shelter was founded in 1990 and today provides a loving and safe home for 72 orphans in Vung Tau Province. The shelter is financed through the sale of vegetarian food, donations from supporters, and limited government subsidies that help reduce school fees. In addition to accommoda-tion and meals, the home places great emphasis on providing the children with a stable education, personal development, and social skills.

In cooperation with Bosch Vietnam and Primavera e. V., a joint project was launched in 2025 with the aim of improving the educational opportunities and digital skills of the children in the long term. A key component of the project is the establishment of a modern computer room, giving the children access to digital learning, knowledge, and new technologies. This initiative helps prepare them for the demands of an increasingly digital world.

In addition, training courses are offered for 44 children aged 10 to 16, covering topics such as self-learning applications, Eng-lish learning methods, self-defense and gender awareness, time management, active learning approaches, and career orienta-tion. These sessions provide practical knowledge and foster self-confidence, teamwork, and initiative among the children.

A total of 24 training sessions will be conducted by 14 dedicat-ed Bosch volunteers between 2025 and 2026. Through their voluntary commitment, they help open up new perspectives for the children and accompany them on their path toward an independent future.

The funding and implementation of the project are carried out jointly by Primavera e. V., Bosch Vietnam (HcP), and the Tu An Shelter, who combine their efforts to promote education, opportunity, and hope for disadvantaged children in Vietnam.

The project was launched with the goal of reducing the education gap between urban and rural areas in Vietnam. Many children in rural regions have limited access to modern learning tools and qualified teachers. Together with Bosch Vietnam and Teach for Vietnam, Primavera e. V. aims to give these children new learning opportunities and to strengthen their digital and language skills.

During the pilot phase, two schools in Đồng Nai Province – Phước Tân 2 Primary School and Phước Tân 3 Secondary School – are being supported. Around 400 students will directly benefit from improved teaching focused on English and STEM subjects. By introducing interactive and practical learning approaches, the project encourages curiosity, creativity, and essential future skills.

Beyond financial support, Bosch associates actively participate in the project by sharing their knowledge through workshops and learning materials, and by assisting the schools in implementing new educational concepts. The collaboration between educators, industry, and organizations creates a dynamic learning environment that ensures lasting impact.

The project is jointly funded by Primavera e. V. and Bosch Vietnam. It reflects a shared commitment to social responsibility and sustainable education, aiming to provide children in rural areas with better opportunities and brighter futures.

Type of support: Establishment of a computer room and implementation of educational and soft-skill training programs for children and young people at the Thien Binh Orphanage.

Following the first wave of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, employees of Bosch Vietnam developed the idea of setting up a computer room and virtual training courses for the Thien Binh Orphanage. Many of the children there come from difficult social and financial backgrounds and have limited access to quality education or digital tools. Without basic IT skills, their opportunities for higher education or professional careers are extremely limited.

With the support of Primavera e. V., 14 new computers were pur-chased and 18 existing ones upgraded, providing the home with a total of 32 functional PCs for learning and training. This equipment not only enables the children to gain digital literacy but also opens up access to new sources of knowledge and learning opportunities that were previously out of reach. In addition to improving infrastructure, the project includes regular training sessions in English, office applications, career guidance, and soft skills.

These sessions are primarily led by volunteer Bosch associates, who share their knowledge and experience to help prepare the children for their future. The trainings strengthen selfconfidence, motivation, and responsibility, empowering participants to recognize their own strengths and take initiative in shaping their personal development.

The Thien Binh Orphanage has a long-standing connection with the CSR team at Bosch Vietnam. Many associates have been involved in community events and celebrations at the home, such as the International Children’s Day and the traditional Mid-Autumn Festival. This strong and personal bond between volunteers and the children ensures continuity and trust within the project.

The initiative exemplifies how Primavera e. V. and Bosch Vietnam work hand in hand to combine education, digital empowerment, and personal growth. It provides the children of Thien Binh not only with knowledge and skills but also with hope, confidence, and the courage to build a selfdetermined future.
