OUR HISTORY
Friends of Hue Foundation was officially founded in May 2000 in San Jose for the purpose of assisting victims of the November 1999 flood that ravaged Central Vietnam, specifically those who resided in the Thua Thien Hue Province. The floods had taken 595 lives, while subjecting 55,000 to homelessness, also causing $290 million in damage to the region, and furthermore, $490 million in economic losses. It is estimated that 1.7 million people of the central Provinces of Vietnam were affected by the floods.
Since its inception, FHF has served Hue’s impoverished population by offering her residents access to health care, education, and economic self-sufficiency. Today,FHF continues to play a vital role in helping to reduce
poverty by equipping our community with business and skills development, while also implementing sustainable solutions to mend communities in Hue and throughout Vietnam.
FHF was the first officially-registered United States-based INGO with a physical presence to provide services in the Thua Thien Hue Province. As the organization grew, FHF fostered a meaningful and relationship with the Santa Clara County Vietnamese American community. FHF is dedicated to provided social and financial support to meet the needs of our underserved Asian populations
