Da Nang is a coastal town in Vietnam that suffered the greatest exposure to the chemical Agent Orange during the Vietnam War with America. As a result of this environmental contamination, more than 10% of children born in some areas suffer congenital mental or physical disabilities. Many of those suffering with physical disabilities have impaired limbs. With a budget of USD 35,000, the Foundation has sought to help by sponsoring corrective orthopedic operations for 173 patients in Quang Tri Province, north of Da Nang.

The goal of each operation is to enhance patients' usage of their limbs, allowing them to be more productive and better integrated into society. They were performed from early 2007 to early 2008 and all have been successfully completed. The Foundation plans to sponsor more operations in the future.

The centre in which the operations from the Foundation's first project are being performed, the Da Nang Orthopedic Rehabilitation Center (“DNORC” or “the Center”), was first built by the US government during the war in Vietnam and is now managed by the Vietnamese government. Originally an army hospital, the Center now specializes in treating orthopedic deformities, especially those resulting from the environmental after-effects of Agent Orange. The Center is currently undergoing extensive renovation work, which began in early 2007 and is scheduled to be finished in December 2008.
The Foundation is supporting these renovations by sponsoring much-needed medical equipment ranging from small surgical instruments and medical supplies to a fully equipped operating table, a sterilization machine and an arthroscopy tower.

Following the renovations the DNORC will be able to increase its capacity from 780 operations per year to more than 4,000.
The Foundation is also in the process of creating a partnership between MOLISA, the DNORC, and the doctors and nurses of the Bruderholz Kantonsspital, in Basel. A number of staff members from the Swiss hospital plan to make regular trips to Vietnam to provide medical training to the staff of the DNORC.
