Six months ago, Tran Thi Thu Hien (not her real name) decided to terminate her three-month-old pregnancy after her boyfriend abandoned her. She was also too scared to return to her family.
Hien, who worked in a restaurant in Hue, was brought by a friend to Hoan Luong home, run by four Daughters of Our Lady of the Visitation nuns.
There she has been given free food, clothing, health care and accommodation.
Hien, 20, who is due to give birth soon, said, “I found peace of mind here.”
The woman from Da Nang city said she spends her days at the home watering the vegetable garden, raising chickens and helping to prepare meals.
