The facilities were originally four kindergartens and community houses in Thanh Hai, Nhon Hai and Ho Hai communes in Ninh Hai district, and Cong Hai commune in Thuan Bac district. They were re-built under the storm-and-flood-proof house design of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies.
They can also be used as study areas for over 100 children and venues for over 500 people in community activities.
The construction cost nearly 2.8 billion VND (124,800 USD), over 2.2 billion VND (98,000 USD) of which was funded by Coca-Cola Beverages Vietnam Ltd.
