In 2011, Outreach Vietnam began to support a second service initiative in Ho Chi Minh City. The Green Bamboo Warm Shelter for Boys houses up to 24 boys who have been separated from their families, due to circumstances including parental imprisonment, abandonment, abuse, and runaways. The goal of the shelter is to reunite the boys with their families within a three to six month period. The shelter works in collaboration with the Ho Chi Minh City Children's Welfare Association to care for, and provide short-term employment opportunities for boys from all parts of Vietnam.
