Consultant for Video production in Tuan Giao District, Dien Bien

World Vision is a Christian relief and development organization working to create lasting changes in the lives of children, families, and communities living in poverty. World Vision serves all people regardless of religion, race, ethnicity, or gender. As a child-focused organization, World Vision’s work focuses on children, ensuring they are protected, and their basic needs are met.

To sustain World Vision’s work in Viet Nam, World Vision Viet Nam must continue exploring new funding sources and opportunities in the face of the foreign funding slash to the development efforts in Viet Nam. To do that, World Vision Viet Nam identified prepositioning for local fundraising (Objective 5) as one of the 10 strategic priorities in our current 2022-2027 Strategy.

In FY23, World Vision Viet Nam will be sharing a transformational story that highlights the life-changing and sustainable impact that our timely and holistic intervention has made in the lives of children, families, and communities in Tuan Giao District, Dien Bien Province.

To increase public awareness of our work, strengthen our partnerships and improve advocacy efforts, World Vision Viet Nam would like to recruit a Viet Nam - based consultancy team to produce a high-quality video. It aims to capture the story of a most vulnerable child (MVC) who benefited from World Vision Viet Nam’s timely, transformational, and integrated intervention, especially in helping him physically survive, pursue education and realize his dream.

The video will be published on multiple World Vision Internet-based platforms to promote the organization and engage with donors and the public.
 

The project's overall objective is to produce ONE high-quality and innovative video that highlights World Vision Viet Nam's impact in transforming the life of a child beneficiary. The video will focus mainly on World Vision Viet Nam's persistent effort to help the child pursue education despite significant obstacles brought by financial difficulties, sickness, and outdated cultural and social norms.
