WVV Project Assistant - Empower Children with Autism or Intellectual Disabilities (ECAID) Project

World Vision is a Christian relief, development and advocacy organization working to improve the quality of life of people, especially children who are marginalized and living in poverty. World Vision helps all who are in need, regardless of their religion, race, ethnicity or gender. As a child-focused organization, World Vision International in Vietnam’s work focuses on children, ensuring they are protected and their basic needs are met. World Vision International in Vietnam (WVIV) has been funded by 13 support countries in Europe, Asia, the Americas, and Australia. Funding of WVIV consists of sponsorship program funding (70%) and Private Non-Sponsorship (PNS)/grants (30%). WVIV employs about 400 staff, of which 99% are Vietnamese nationals.

WVIV is operating in 25 Area Programs (AP) in 4 zones: North 1 (Dien Bien, Ha Noi, Hai Phong), North 2 (Thanh Hoa, Hung Yen, Quang Ninh), Central (Quang Nam, Quang Tri, and Da Nang), and South (Quang Ngai, Ho Chi Minh, DakNong). WVIV’s AP usually focuses on one administrative district of a province which populated by ethnic minority people with high rates of poverty. A uniqueness of WVIV’s Development Program Approach (DPA) is that AP team members are based at the district level where the AP is located, which enables them to work closely with government partners and communities on a daily basis. Besides the APs, WVIV is also implementing different Special and Grant Projects to meet the specific needs of vulnerable children in both AP and non-AP areas.
