“Commit yourself to lifelong learning. The most valuable asset you will ever have is your mind and what you put into it”. – Albert Einstein

What values we have created to the society

With Compassion Books, we have established a network of 20,090 bookcases/libraries in more than 3,100 schools and residential communities (in houses, community cultural houses, Catholic churches, Buddhist temples, shelters, businesses, hospitals, prisons, etc.), providing quality reading opportunities for over 2 million readers in 61 out of 63 provinces of Vietnam and a number of schools in Laos. As for The House of Wisdom, there are 108 lifelong learning communities in 12 provinces of Vietnam and 04 other countries around the world (Malaysia, Japan, Australia, New Zealand and the US), helping more than 10,000 members, especially children and locals in poor rural areas to have the opportunity for quality and free education from leading experts and lecturers in Vietnam and internationally.
