Caodaist communities have long woven education and charity into the fabric of daily practice, blending Confucian respect for learning with a genuine drive to uplift society.

Education
• Village primary and secondary schools: Temples often bankroll local schools in Tây Ninh and neighboring provinces, covering everything from building repairs to teaching materials.
• Scholarship funds: Young people from economically challenged families receive scholarships for university studies—fields range from agriculture to medicine, reflecting a “teach a man to fish” mentality.
• Vocational training centers: Programs in sewing, carpentry or language skills help recent high-school graduates and rural women find steady work.
• Summer cultural workshops: Calligraphy, folk music and basic philosophy classes introduce urban youth (and even visiting foreign students) to Vietnam’s rich spiritual tapestry.

Charitable Activities
• Mobile clinics and free medical days: Teams of Cao Đài doctors and nurses regularly travel to remote hamlets, offering check-ups and basic treatments. During last year’s Mekong Delta floods, they set up pop-up pharmacies and distributed thousands of doses of antimalarial drugs.
• Disaster relief: Flooding and storms are an annual threat. Caodaist relief caravans provide food packages, clean water, temporary shelter supplies and mosquito nets when typhoons hit.
• Orphanages and elder care homes: Supported by temple donations and volunteer networks, these facilities ensure some of society’s most vulnerable receive round-the-clock attention.
• Blood drives: Partnering with the Vietnam Red Cross, Caodai youth groups have hosted boat-to-boat and citywide donation marathons, collecting enough pints to bolster hospital supplies.

By nurturing both mind and body, Caodaism translates spiritual ideals into concrete action—offering a living example of faith in service to humanity.
