Transforming the lives of Vietnam’s poor

VNHELP is a nonprofit organization whose projects have benefited thousands, reaching people across 32 provinces and municipalities.

Developing the fundamentals in life

VNHELP’s programs are aimed at developing the fundamentals in life to meet both pressing, immediate needs and long-term development goals. We have numerous projects going on at any point in time, but our five main program areas are in education, health, clean water, economic development and assisting street children and orphans.

Street Children and Orphans

We work with local partners to create an environment where street children and orphans can flourish.

Healthcare in Vietnam

We manage projects to bring healthcare to poor villagers in need of assistance.

Education

Our education programs are guided by two beliefs: start them young and help them through the end.

Microfinance

VNHELP’s microloan recipients gain seed money to begin a new business or scale an existing enterprise.

Clean Water

We connect local people to clean water sources, helping the poor tend to their needs without risk of illness.

Did you know nearly 385 million children live in extreme poverty around the world?

There are four ways you can help

Become a donor

There are plenty of ways you can help Vietnam. One of the most meaningful ways is to become a donor. Your financial contributions help VNHELP maintain quality programs and launch new projects that have life-changing effects for the poor. Follow the button to the donate page.

Fundraise with us

Are you a student interested in Vietnamese culture? A traveler who can’t forget the sights and sounds of Vietnam even after returning to you home country? Or perhaps you’re a second generation Vietnamese American wanting to reconnect to your heritage?

For Working Professionals: You’re busy, we know. You can hardly find time to catch a proper lunch, much less plan a whole fundraising event. But we also know that you have a good heart and want to do something for the less fortunate in Vietnam (why else would you be browsing our site?). We recommend contacting your employer to see if they have a matching gifts fund. Through an employee matching gift plan, your employer meets every dollar you donate to VNHELP with an equal contribution. Each dollar you donate goes twice as far. Some companies may even double or triple your donation. If your employer is also involved in any corporate philanthropy, please consider recommending VNHELP for a corporate grant. It’ll help us out greatly. Just let us know if you need any help getting started.

Volunteer

20-some years ago, VNHELP started as a tiny volunteer organization. We’ve since grown, but we know the value of volunteers and their ability to create positive change. We welcome volunteer of all backgrounds. Let us know your skill set or goals and we’ll try to design a volunteer experience that matches you.
