Print 
The Netherlands-based Prince Claus Fund has donated an unspecified sum of money for restoring a degraded relic in world heritage city Hoi An.
A centuries-old house at 14 Nguyen Thai Hoc Street that faced a high risk of collapse has received almost VND 1.5 billion (US$75,000), partly from the Fund and rest from the city, for its restoration.
The work is expected to be finished in June.
The city has earmarked VND5 billion this year for upgrading the city’s relics while Quang Nam Province, where Hoi An is situated, has lent VND1 billion.
