Our Goals

Our Goals

As we strive to make significant differences in the lives of Vietnamese youth, we will reach our goals by being focused, dedicated, and through the generosity of like minded individuals and organizations. We are committed that “for every dollar raised, at least 97 cents will go toward the cause of elevating the education level of the children in Vietnam”. This is the highest measurement of integrity and efficiency and the best way to demonstrate our gratitude for the trust people have in Sunflower Mission and its objective.

Below is the results of our 6 year objectives from 10/30/02 through 2008. We will be setting our goals and objectives for the next 5 year in the coming months.

Note: 2002 starts from 10/30/02 when Sunflower Mission received 501c3 status
