east meets west foundation
The East Meets West Foundation creates catalytic solutions to
difficult development problems.
For 22 years, we have been working in Vietnam and
Southeast Asia on innovative, low-cost, sustainable solutions
to challenging development problems that disproportionately
affect people living in poverty.
As the Foundation for Learning, Healing and Health, our core
programs are in education, medical and health care, clean
water and the environment, and large-scale infrastructure projects.
at the heart of our work, we connect people with opportunities and create
opportunities where we find existing connections.
We are pleased to present our 2009 Annual Report. In the pages
that follow, you’ll meet many of the people we work with and read
about some of the opportunities for a brighter future developed in
partnership with them.

creating opportunities
THE REMOTE AREAS OF QUANG NAM PROVINCE IN CENTRAL VIETNAM are as beautiful and as poor as
anywhere in the country. The rice fields can be so green it almost hurts your eyes to look at them. Small villages
are tucked amidst the stands of bamboo and tropical trees.
It’s a vista of astonishing loveliness, and first-time visitors are unfailingly beguiled. Years ago, I was traveling in
Quang Nam with a potential East Meets West supporter and we were walking along a path through the trees,
on our way to visit a household that was participating in an EMW program. One of the family’s young daughters
– she couldn’t have been more than eight or nine, though she was small enough to be a five-year-old – came
out to lead us to the right house, a traditional hand-made dwelling with split bamboo walls and a palm-
thatched roof.
Guiding us along the path, she reached up and took the large hand of my friend, and held it as we walked.
Following just behind them, I witnessed this simple act and knew that once again, as happens so often, a con-
nection had been made. From that point on, we had many discussions about the merits of one program versus
another—the state of education and rural water supply, implementation costs and timing—but these were all
details. The big picture was this: One person had reached out across the vast divide of culture, language and
distance, and a bond had been formed.
at the heart of east meets west, it is connections between people that drive our organization forward. we are a mission-driven organization, and that mission centers on serving people.
What keeps the EMW staff, board members, partners and supporters engaged and motivated is the desire to help
and the profound connection they feel with the people of Vietnam. Every one of the staff at EMW
is working first and foremost from the heart. It’s their determination to do a better job of
serving people that inspires them to seek out new solutions, come up with better ways
of implementing our programs and find more cost-effective methods of delivering
our services. What could be more gratifying than to visit the new home of a family
whose old house was destroyed in a typhoon, and see the joy in their faces as they
take up residence in a safe new living space? Or to participate in a graduation cere-
mony for a young student who, without EMW’s support, would not have had access
to an education? Or to see a little boy playing soccer with his friends, unconcerned
about the long scar bisecting his chest, the beneficiary of an open-heart surgery for
a cardiac defect that would have killed him, were it not for EMW’s intervention?
These are the kinds of experiences EMW staff have every day, and that you can
have too. If you’ve already visited Vietnam or one of the other countries where we
work, then you know what I’m talking about. If you haven’t, then what are you wait-
ing for? Come with us to Southeast Asia and experience it yourself. You will connect
with people that you will never forget.
Best regards,
John Anner

“It’s been a great honor for me to work with the children who live at the Village of Hope. I have seen the way they blossom in response to the nurturing they receive here. What EMW gives these children is more than an education and a roof over their heads. It’s the opportunity to build a productive future for themselves, and by extension for their families and communities.”

In the developing countries that EMW serves, those living in poverty often cannot afford even the most basic health care, while many medical facilities lack the technologies
necessary to provide treatment. East Meets West’s health and medical programs address the problem of access to treatment on several levels, providing direct assistance to individuals, supporting their families, training medical staff and improving systemic
capacity. Our health programs include supporting lifesaving surgery for children with heart defects, equipping hospitals with the necessary medical technologies and training to save
and treat sick infants and providing comprehensive treatment to people with disabilities.

Breath of Life is EMW’s innovative neonatal program aimed at substan-tially reducing infant mortality and morbidity in Southeast Asia.
Breath of Life provides low-cost, locally designed and manufactured medical equipment to hospitals and trains medical staff in how to use it. The equipment is designed to treat and save newborns suffering from respiratory distress and other critical neonatal conditions.
In 2009, BOL continued working at the national-level hospitals in Cam-bodia, Laos, and East Timor. In Viet-nam, 45 district-level hospitals were added to the program. In these four countries, a total of 166 machines were distributed in 2009 and over 100 doctors and nurses received BOL training in newborn care.
BOL technologies are now treating almost 45,000 babies a year. This figure includes all BOL technologies that EMW has in operation, which by the end of 2009 totaled 557 CPAP machines, 190 phototherapy ma-chines, 192 warmers and 30 bilibeds.
BOL is a partnership between EMW, MTTS Asia and the National Hospital of Pediatrics in Hanoi.

Phan Thi Van (pictured above
and at right) was born with
cerebral palsy and, as she
grew, developed the disease’s
characteristic mobility and
speech difficulties. With four
other children to support, her
parents—impoverished rural
farmers—could not afford treat-
ment for Van, and her prospects
for an independent, productive
future seemed dim.
That changed when East Meets
West’s Support Network for People with disabilities
(SN-PWD) referred Van for free
home-based rehabilitation
services through a local ortho-
pedic center that EMW supports
through the program. Two years
of physical and speech therapy
improved her mobility and her
ability to communicate and she
began to dream of getting a job
and earning her own living.
To help Van build on her
progress, SN-PWD provided her
with vocational training and job
placement at a local tailoring
shop, where she now works
as a seamstress. Thanks to the
opportunities provided by EMW,
and her own determination to
make the most of them, Van can
support herself, help her family,
and has the independence she
once only dreamed of.
the Sponsoring Associations for Poor Patients, to select the children from over 950 applications received.
Expenditures for 2009 also include the OHH/TTCE Capacity Building Project which distributes key medical equipment and provides training to increase the ability of hospitals to treat pediatric cardiac patients. Four hospitals—Bach Mai, Viet Duc, Hanoi Heart and HCMC Medical Universi-ty—received investment funds from OHH/TTCE in order to strengthen their cardiology capacity by up to 70% a year.
OHH/TTCE is a partnership between EMW, Vietnam Television (VTV) and Vietnam Telecommunications Corporation (Viettel).

dENTAL PROGRAM
EXPENDITURES ............................$422,436 LESS IN-kIND DONATIONS ........ -285,740
PROGRAM COSTS ........................ $136,696 CHILDREN SERVED ........................... 10,647
The Dental Program provides free, modern dental care to poor children in Vietnam, most of whom have never seen a dentist in their lives. Lack of dental treatment can lead to long-term, serious health consequences.
The Dental Program treats children through three services: at the EMW Dental Clinic in Da Nang, through a mobile dental trailer that provides care at primary schools, and on several dental outreach trips that set up in remote areas using mobile dental equipment and are staffed by international volunteers and the EMW dental team.
In 2009, the Dental Program treated 10,647 patients with 48,295 dental services. The dental trailer pro-vided treatment at five schools. Eight five-day dental outreach trips were made to poor areas in Da Nang, Quang Nam, Quang Tri and
Kon Tum Provinces. A total of 114 international volunteers contributed 5,840 working hours with an in-kind service value of $221,850. Addi-tional in-kind donations of dental supplies and equipment—valued at $60,759—were made by individuals and organizations around the world.
In addition, 12 local dental students completed training at EMW’s Dental Clinic and over 50 school nurses received continuing training provided by EMW staff and volunteers.

The Ireland-Vietnam Blood-borne Virus Initiative is a partnership be-tween the University College Dublin and Vietnam’s National Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology (NIHE), which has a strategic role in national disease surveillance and control. As part of the initiative, EMW completed the construction of, and handed over, a large new virology laboratory to serve the project’s goals of bring-ing expertise on blood-borne viral disease prevention and control to Vietnam. The facility will help reduce the spread of blood-borne viruses, including HIV, AIDS and hepatitis, which are most prevalent among the poorest segments of society.
The IVVI project is funded by Irish Aid and Atlantic Philanthropies.

EMW’s education programs provide opportunities to children from impoverished families in rural areas, as well as enhancing Vietnam’s capacity to provide schooling in underserved
areas. Children living in rural poverty lag far behind their urban counterparts in access to education and the chance to pursue improved life opportunities. EMW takes a comprehen-sive approach to the problem, making supportive, multiyear scholarships available to these
students, building new schools, and supporting early childhood education programs.

SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM TO ENHANCE LITERACy & LEARNING
EXPENDITURES ............................. $471,831 STUDENTS SERVED .............................4,617
The Scholarship Program to En-hance Literacy and Learning (SPELL) provides funding for school fees, supplies, uniforms, books and tutor-ing to children in the poorest 10% of families in Vietnam. Students who stay in school are guaranteed support through high school graduation.
In 2009, SPELL provided scholarships to 4,617 students in 193 schools and tutoring to 4,019 of those students. As the oldest of the SPELL students reached high school—many of whom have been part of the program since third grade—SPELL extended its support to keep them on track in pursuing their academic goals Of SPELL students who took the high school entrance exam in 2009, over 80% were accepted into public high school, with several entering special gifted programs.

In 2009, EMW received a new grant to build a province-wide early child-hood education program in Kon Tum, an area in Vietnam’s central highlands region heavily populated by ethnic minority groups, histori-cally an underserved population.The program’s goal is to help ethnic minority children prepare for suc-cess in primary school and improve overall school performance in the province. Through the program, several dozen educational facilities will be built or refurbished, and hun-dreds of teachers will be trained.
This new program builds off the Kon Ray Ethnic Minority Boarding School, which was built by EMW and funded by USAID. In 2009, the school provided housing and edu-cation to 184 ethnic minority and disabled children, who benefit from the facility’s accessible design.
The Kon Ray school program also supports the local community through loan programs, agricultural extension, and teacher training. Vol-unteers organized by EMW partner Roadmonkey Travel contributed over 250 hours of labor to build a 400 m2
organic farm, which now produces about 20 kgs of vegetables daily, used for students’ meals and sold to provide income for the school.

The An Giang/Dong Thap Alliance to Prevent Trafficking (ADAPT) aims to prevent the trafficking of young women by providing educational opportunities and expanding their vo-cational choices through community support and a network of services.
The year 2009 marked the fifth year of ADAPT. The program expanded into neighboring Kien Giang Prov-ince, and supported 463 scholarship students from 20 schools.
Since the start of the program, 825 young at-risk women have received vocational training to increase economic stability and offer another safeguard against trafficking risks.
In 2009, the program’s Awareness Raising and Capacity Building compo-nent provided information and train-ing about trafficking risks to 4,900 people. In addition, ADAPT assisted 18 trafficking returnees with healthcare

EMW’s School Construction team replaces run-down primary schools and kindergartens with new, venti-lated, sanitary and well-lit facilities that provide a safe environment, conducive to learning, for children in impoverished rural areas.
The Early Childhood Care and Education program focuses on the critical preschool age. EMW builds kindergartens while also providing teacher training and age-appropriate learning materials to help prepare Vietnam’s youngest students for primary school.
In 2009, EMW built one five-class-room primary school and one two-classroom kindergarten. All are the first schools in those communi-ties with the capacity to provide students with a full-day school ses-sion. In addition, an administration building was added to an already
In 2009, tenth grader Huynh Thi Ngoc Tien (pictured
above, at right and on the
cover) passed a challenging
entry exam to become a stu-
dent at Tieu La High School,
an outcome that would have
seemed unlikely just five
years before. Tien was born
into rural poverty and might,
like her older sister, have left
school after fifth grade to earn
money for the family. But
Tien had something her sister
didn’t: support from EMW’s
Scholarship Program to En-hance Literacy & Learning (SPELL) program. With tuition
paid, school supplies pro-
vided, and free tutoring, Tien
stayed in school and excelled
in her studies.
As Tien has grown, so has the
SPELL program, with a new
secondary level scholarship
program introduced in time
to help Tien and hundreds of
other SPELL children transition
to high school. With the sup-
port of SPELL, Tien is confident
she can handle the rigors
of high school and already
looks forward to college and a
career as a journalist.
“If a student is motivated and willing to go to school, East Meets West is going to do everything possible to remove every barrier that would prohibit that child from getting an education. Our SPELL program is designed to give students everything they need to prevent drop out—bicycles for transportation, tutoring, insurance and regular family check-ins.”

EMW provides clean water and improved sanitation in the poorest rural communities in Vietnam through the construction of water systems that deliver piped water directly to
households. Local communities help fund and maintain the systems. EMW promotes hy-giene education and offers incentives to upgrade sanitation facilities. EMW’s water systems are constructed to withstand the effects of global environmental change and EMW is work-
ing in climate change adaptation through the construction of storm-proof homes for vul-nerable families and repairing dwellings and community facilities damaged by typhoons.

CLEAN wATER
EXPENDITURES ......................... $1,045,438 PEOPLE SERVED ................................55,286
The EMW Clean Water Team achieved their 2009 goals through the following program activities:
Building community water systems in rural areas of central Vietnam. Clean water piped directly to homes improves health conditions, reduces child mortality and relieves people from the heavy burden of obtaining water from distant or poor qual-ity water sources. In 2009, 20 clean water systems were built and four systems were upgraded to serve more than 43,000 people.
Providing free household connections to the water system for the poorest residents. Through the Poorest of the Poor program, 1,126 poor households received connections free of charge, primarily funded by VNHelp.
Equipping schools with UV water treatment systems. In 2009, 30 schools were provided with UV water systems, giving 10,660 students easy access to clean water during the school day.
In addition to the above activities, EMW made an exploratory trip with the World Bank to investigate the development of the Output Based Aid (OBA) approach for privately funded piped water and sanitation systems in the south of Vietnam and signed a Memorandum of Under-standing in Tien Giang Province to support private sector investments in clean piped water systems there.
g
SANITATION
HOUSEHOLDS SERVED ...................... 1,296
EMW maximizes the community health benefits of the piped water systems by building latrines and providing Hygiene and Sanitation
Behavioral Change (HSBC) training. The program uses social market-ing and training to educate people about the benefits of sanitation, and provides incentives to encourage families to build latrines. In 2009, 1,296 households were supported in building sanitary latrines with as-sistance from Watershed ASIA, a re-gional initiative supported by USAID. The program encourages people to adopt more effective hygiene behaviors that could significantly re-duce the incidence of water-related diseases such as diarrhea, especially in children.
g
CLIMATE CHANGE AdAPTATION
EXPENDITURES ...............................$65,032
East Meets West is working with local communities on preven-tion and adaptation techniques to protect them from the effects of global climate change, particu-larly the rural poor. EMW uses its longstanding experience working with local people on improving their community infrastructure to prepare cost-effective and efficiently man-aged responses, such as building storm-resistant homes for impover-ished families and repairing storm-damaged buildings.
Typhoon Relief. In response to the devastation wrought in central Vietnam by Typhoon Ketsana in September 2009, EMW worked with AkzoNobel Paints Vietnam, Ltd., to repair the damage to several institu-tions serving vulnerable populations (seniors, disabled, orphans) in Da Nang, including EMW’s Village of Hope children’s center. Funds from EMW’s Typhoon Ketsana Relief Fund also supported 69 families with chil-dren in the SPELL Program in Quang Nam Province to repair or rebuild their storm-damaged houses.
“the cost to connect a water system to an
individual house is less than $20, but that’s a
huge sum for someone who is old, disabled
or living on a minimal income. our poorest of the poor program
mobilizes donor funds to subsidize connection costs for a village’s most impoverished residents.”

18“climate change in Vietnam is a fact of everyday life. we have to help vulnerable communities adapt and become more resilient to the inevitable effects, including severe weather events, changes in agricultural and fishing systems and increased flooding from more frequent storms and rising sea levels. one important aspect of this work is improved community facilities such as storm-proof housing, better school buildings, protected water and electrical systems and community safe houses above flood levels. emw is working on all of these.”

NEw MOON ECOLOGICAL GARdEN
EXPENDITURES ...............................$65,970
The New Moon Ecological Garden is an integrated development project that aims to demonstrate the eco-nomic value of ecological restoration and organically grown produce. In 2009, the organic vegetable growing and fruit tree cultivation planting and education components were com-pleted. Local private sector com-panies took on the task of branding and marketing the produce and are working with local farmers to extend the pilot program locally.
Compassion Homes. EMW builds storm-resistant dwellings for poor families living in flood- and typhoon-prone areas. In 2009, EMW built new homes for two vulnerable families in Quang Nam Province, re-placing flimsy, dilapidated structures with new houses that have solid metal roofs, elevated concrete foun-dations, and a half-story for storage during flooding.
In 2001, Pham Van Thanh (pictured above and at right) built a clean water system that serves 300 families in the remote, poor com-munity where he lives in southern Vietnam’s Tien Giang Province. Since then, the enterprising Mr. Pham has dreamed of expanding the system to provide safe, accessible water to more local households, but lacked the resources.
Now, with technical and financial support from East Meets West’s Clean water and Sanitation program, Mr. Pham will have that opportunity: his company, Quoc An Enterprise, is now on track to run pipes to another 100 households.
Through this type of in-novative private/public parternship, East Meets West leverages its resources and expertise to bring the ben-efits of clean water to even greater numbers of people.

on BeHalf of tHe Board of directors and staff of the East Meets
West Foundation, it is my pleasure to share with you EMW’s 2009 financial results. I’m
proud to report that in 2009, we provided our services more efficiently than ever, with
93% of expenses going directly to program work. We value the generosity of all our
supporters—individuals, corporations, foundations and organizations—and are commit-
ted to being responsible, effective stewards of your contributions.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are derived from au-
dited consolidated financial statements prepared in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States. East Meets West’s management
maintains internal controls that ensure the accuracy and integrity of financial records,
compliance with funder instructions, and protection of foundation assets.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements were audited by PMB Helin Don-
ovan, LLP, independent auditors, in accordance with United States GAAP. PMB Helin
Donovan, LLP reported that the statements are fairly presented, in all material respects,
in conformity with US GAAP. Their reports and copies of the complete audited financial
statements are available on our website at www.eastmeetswest.org. In Vietnam, East
Meets West was audited by Ernst & Young.
In 2009, EMW received more than $500,000 in federal funds, and
therefore underwent an additional audit, carried out by PMB
Helin Donovan, LLP.
The members of EMW’s Audit Committee, a subcom-
mittee of the Board of Directors, are responsible for
appointing PMB Helin Donovan, LLP and Ernst &
Young and for overseeing their work.
