With a total capital of 389 million VND (18.200 USD) funded by the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade and donations from Hanoi-based organisations, the project equips the pagoda with a well-water filter system as well as furniture, computers and learning tools for its library.

According to Deputy Director of the municipal Health Department, the project will help the children have a good health and the best learning conditions, facilitating their integration into the community.
