Speaking at the signing ceremony, Japanese Ambassador to Vietnam Umeda Kunio said that funding was expected to help provide better care for the children in the village.
A two-floor building for vocational training and a 100-metre fence will be constructed.
The village is home to 110 orphans aged between 2 and 18. Children aged from 13 years and over are provided with vocational training courses.
In 2014, the Japanese government also offered USD96,000 for upgrades for the village.
