The Anam Mui Ne Donates New Homes to Disadvantaged Families
Mui Ne, Vietnam, June 5, 2025 / TRAVELINDEX / The Anam Mui Ne, an Indochine-era inspired resort in Vietnam’s popular beach town Mui Ne, has provided three safe and stable houses to families facing hardship in the local area.
In a meaningful initiative to support disadvantaged families, the resort, in collaboration with the People’s Committee of Thuan Hoa Commune, has donated the charity homes built in Thuan Hoa Commune, Ham Thuan Bac District, Binh Thuan Province.
Established by The Anam Group’s founder and chairman Mr. Pham Van Hien, The Anam Foundation funded the project, valued at 240 million VND, that broke ground in mid-March 2025. The secure houses, that each cost 80,000,000 VND to build, were officially completed and handed over to the three families on April 24, 2025.
One family, made up of two spouses with disabilities and their small child, previously had a dilapidated house they were unable to repair or renovate. A farmer family of two spouses and their three children also had an old and degraded house with no economic capacity to rebuild it. The other family, of two spouses and their two children, had a temporary house built from old corrugated iron sheets without a toilet.
Each family now has a solid house to call home made of cement rendered brick, fronted by a shaded and tiled concrete terrace, with a separate living space, bedroom, toilet and shower.
“Shelter is such an important fundamental, and it was so rewarding to speak with the families about how much of a profound change these homes have made to their lives,” said Mr Hien. “A home is more than a roof over your head – it’s where you and your family have a sense of belonging and it’s crucial home affords security and comfort.”
The Anam Foundation embodies Mr Hien’s vision of creating lasting, positive change in the communities surrounding The Anam’s luxury resorts in Vietnam. More than philanthropy, the foundation serves as a bridge between sustainable tourism and grassroots development, ensuring that the prosperity of The Anam extends to the local people, environment, and culture.
The foundation is dedicated to fostering sustainable growth through key initiatives in community development and sustainability, including enhancing essential infrastructure such as clean water systems, sanitation, and transportation access, and empowering local artisans and small businesses by integrating their products and services into The Anam’s guest experiences. The foundation is also focused on education and empowerment by providing vocational training in hospitality and trades, equipping residents with skills for long-term employment opportunities.
The Anam Mui Ne and The Anam Cam Ranh contribute a percentage of their profits annually to The Anam Foundation, providing a consistent and impactful flow of resources towards initiatives.
“As part of The Anam Group’s dedication to responsible tourism, luxury hospitality goes hand-in-hand with meaningful social and environmental contributions. By investing in the well-being of our surrounding communities, The Anam Foundation helps create a sustainable future where both the resorts and local populations thrive together,” Mr Hien said.
