The Peoples Committee of Quy Nhon – Binh Dinh, licenses the Nguyen Nga Center as a privately operated, non-profit organization that performs humanitarian and social work utilizing volunteers. In 2005 the NNC came under the sponsorship of the Association of Disabled People and Orphans of Binh Dinh Province and is now known as “Sub Group Nguyen Nga”. This was necessary because in Viet Nam there is a requirement to organize all local groups and private organizations for social activities with a government agency. However the Nguyen Nga Center retains self-governance of its operational activities, staff recruitment, organization and fiscal support.
Before 2008, when the NNC was still administering the Education Department, the staff of teachers, volunteers and management numbered 35 people. Since 2008, after the transfer of the Education Department to the Government Department of Education and Culture of Binh Dinh (Hope School), the NNC continues with Post-Education and Training (Phase 2) with the following Staff:
• 11 staff members; teachers, volunteers and management
• Providing assistance to 160 people with Special Needs, who are divided into several Groups: o Work Group at the Center - 40 individuals o Family Group, 38 members with 42 children o Students with disabilities, 29 individuals o Independent Group with 12 individuals running their own business enterprises o Group of individuals with disabilities who are training and working in the community, 40 individuals

Revenue Sources:
• The Nguyen Nga Center strives to develop and maintain support activities for People with Special Needs with documented hardships. To cover the expenses of all running operations we need the assistance of concerned organizations from Viet Nam and abroad, individual supporters along with contributions from involved families and the founder herself. Another important source of income is the centers effort to boost the sale of products made by the people with disabilities at the Center.
• When the fundraising activities and financial support from other organizations becomes irregular, some operations at the center are curtailed until enough funds are available.
• After the transfer of Phase 1 (Children’s Education) in July 2008 to the government, NNC had to move to another location and started to develop Phase 2 (Post-Education and Training).
Phase 2 was divided into two Divisions:
-Social Work directly at the Center and Social Outreach in the Community, each maintain independent financing.
* Program Expenditures At the Center:
- Support to learn a profession and find employment for mostly deaf students over the age of 16
- Help them to stabilize their lives before they start to practice independently in the community
- Some blind students may need special assistance before they find employment
- Expenditures for office-utilities, telephone, rent, maintenance, transportation costs and the cost of purchasing raw materials for production
- Expenditures for the boarding of students, literacy, health insurance, first aid and every 6 months.
- Investment in equipment, machinery and tools used for handicraft production.
The sale of products made at the Center covers much of the expenses, but it is not enough. NNC compensates with a portion of support, for example, some of the rent.
• Program Expenditures for Community Outreach:
- Support for apprentice training in the community (professions we can not offer at the NNC)
- Support for start-up capital for student business

- Support investment for machinery, tools and equipment as needed

* International Disability Day
* Occasional events for exchange with other NGO’s and Sponsors

However, these people have the will to learn and succeed in life with family and society. They don`t want to become a burden to relatives and friends, when they need assistance and share their concerns.
From that point of view and given the simple fact that professional help was not available, Ms. Nga was inspired and started to develop the will and desire to help, not just her sister but other people and families with disabled members facing the same plight and discouragement.
Thus she became the founder of the privately operated and funded facility the Nguyen Nga Center – NNC in July, 1993.
Let`s review the development the Nguyen Nga Center from it’s creation in 1993 until today.
