🏢 About the local organisation
SJ Vietnam is an international youth NGO (Non-Governmental Organization) that promotes values of solidarity, peace and tolerance through youth citizenship projects to improve society during and after the voluntarism. It was set up in 2004 by international and Vietnamese young volunteers. SJ Vietnam is an independent Vietnamese branch of SJ France, a full member of CCVIS (UNESCO) and NVDA, a partner of YAP and Alliance. SJ Vietnam is an independent, non-political and non-religious organization open to everybody without any distinction of nationality, race, education or sex.
Especially on this project :
There are so many children, as young as two, selling lottery tickets on the streets of Ho Chi Minh City.
Families sacrificed their children’ education just to make ends meet. We needed to advocate for children’ quality of life and their right to an education.CVI is a learning center for disadvantage children, homeless children, those were born in poor family to have a chance to learn how to read and write in Vietnamese.Ky Quang Orphanage is run by Ky Quang Pagoda, which was built in the early part of the 20th Century in 1924. The pagoda is now a place of charity for unlucky children and also helps treat diseases. Now, the pagoda is taking care and bringing up more than 200 children in the South of Vietnam. The children here have unfortunate backgrounds as many have been abandoned by their parents and relatives most of them have suffering from cerebral-palsy, blindness or Down's syndrome, Agent Orange.
We - SJ Vietnam would like to bring little good things to these community in our society, we would like to share with them the happiness and support their life.
