The People’s Committee of the Central province of Quang Nam on August 2^nd launched a pilot project of children protection in Tam Ky city.  

Accordingly, the committee and the World Vision Organization will carried out  this three-year project in five mountainous districts of Bac Tra My, Phuoc Son, Tien Phuoc, Nong Son and Dong Giang.

Some US $11,000 will be funded for the first year of the project. The fund can be adjusted in the following years, based on the reality of demands and the agreement between the two organizers.

The goal of this project is to improve the effectiveness of taking care of and protecting children from being abused and tortured.

In 2009, the Department of Labour, War-Invalids and Social Affairs of Quang Nam province and other related agencies helped liberate a number of children from their violent gold mine owners.
