The choice between survival and school shouldn't exist.

Imagine your child walking miles to a classroom that has a leaking roof. Or skipping lunch because your day's wages only cover dinner. Or staying home to care for a sibling because you can't afford to stop working. These are the relentless challenges of multi-dimensional poverty for families in Central Vietnam - where simply surviving becomes the first barrier to children’s success.

Nearly 1 in 5 children of secondary school age in Vietnam are not enrolled in school (UNESCO).

Better lives are possible.

For over 25 years, Children of Vietnam has worked hand-in-hand with communities to dismantle the barriers of poverty, one by one. Our holistic approach doesn't just give aid; we build pathways to sustainable, lasting empowerment for children, their mothers, and their entire communities.
