For 30 years, World Vision has been supporting Việt Nam to ensure the well-being of its children. Motivated by the brighter futures we envision for the needy children we serve, we pursue ONE VISION where all children have an equal chance, to reach their full potential in a safe, nurturing environment.

Due to financial difficulties, Ms Sen's husband decided to work abroad with the hope of bringing a brighter future for the family. But the rosy future turned black when she received the shocking news in 2019, that her husband was one of 39 unfortunate victims who died in a refrigerated container travelling from Europe to England.

Since 2015, The Celebrating Families program has been implemented in 36 Area Programs of World Vision Vietnam to repair and restore family relationships, thereby contributing to building a safe and loving environment for children to grow up in and reach their full potential.

Recently, we invited some members who participated in the Celebrating Families program throughout the years to join a “Yes & No” experiment and to share their personal experiences through the program.

World Vision Vietnam would like to sincerely thank all parents and children for their heartfelt and open sharing in this video.

South Asia has the highest rates of child marriage in the world. Almost half (45%) of all women aged 20-24 reported being married before 18. Nearly one in five girls (17%) are married before age 15.

In Viet Nam, child marriage continues to be a persistent issue. One-in-10 Vietnamese women aged 20-24 years in 2014 was found to be married or in before their 18th birthday.

Child marriage violates children’s rights and puts them at high risk for violence, exploitation, and abuse.

Within our persistent effort to achieve Sustainable Development Goal 5, “Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls,” World Vision Viet Nam has worked hand-in-hand with the authorities, communities, families, and children toward ending child marriage and promoting a future where all children, especially girls, can pursue education, realize their dreams, and fulfill their potentials.

Join us to follow Dì in her journey of change and transformation!

Since 2012, World Vision Việt Nam has implemented the Positive Deviance/Hearth Model in 20 districts in 8 provinces across the country, helping to improve the health and nutritional status of 10,676 underweight children.

In the next five years (2023-2027), through the Positive Deviance/Hearth Model, World Vision Việt Nam will continue to work together with local partners, communities, and families to improve the health and nutritional conditions of at least 7,000 most vulnerable children under the age of five, contributing to improving their well-being towards the fullness of life.

The world is witnessing rapid urbanization, with more than half of the population living and working in urban areas. This number is expected to increase to 60% by 2050.

As of 2012, more than one billion children - almost half of the world’s children - live in cities, with millions in vulnerable conditions. It is estimated that an additional one billion people will live in extreme poverty in 2030.

Since 2013, 22,400 people in Việt Nam have been supported by World Vision Việt Nam’s Urban Livelihoods Program, of which 13,480 are children.

Despite the massive impact of COVID-19 on the whole world, including the vulnerable urban communities, World Vision Việt Nam continues our unwavering commitment to serve and support families to secure sustainable livelihoods and ensure the well-being of the most vulnerable children.

"We did not know what to do. If I had been as healthy as others, my wife and I would have been able to have two incomes. But in reality, all burdens were put on my wife’s shoulders. She herself also became weaker with time due to food deficiency and the nature of the local jobs that require much more strength than jobs in other areas..."

"When my father passed away, it was as though I had lost everything I could rely on. I fought a lot with myself to decide if I should continue to go to school or drop out of school to help my mother provide for my younger sisters. It would mean sacrificing my life and my future for my siblings..."

As part of World Vision's global campaign to end violence against children, World Vision Vietnam aims to end physical violence against children at home and school. We partner with the Ministry of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs to launch the campaign as the first joint action for the five-year partnership framework.

The role play shows how physical punishment affects children’s physical and mental health as opposed to adults’ assumption that physical punishment is a manifestation of their love and good intention towards their children. During the role play, the audience will be able to see the alteration of the child’s feelings, thoughts, and even personalities, as she will gradually lose self-confidence and carry the fear of making mistakes.

Both husband and wife work in the cities, leaving their children at home for the grandparents. Although the grandparents try their best, without proper childcare knowledge and skills, the children remain undersized, stunted... To make a living, parents have no other choice.

Physical violence is not an act of love. It causes permanent scars.

"The best thing in life" portrays a lively picture of the situation of physical violence against children as well as the prospect of a violence-free world where all children are protected, cared for, and loved. Composed by Ta Quang Thang. Performed by singer Ta Quang Thang and singer Ha Anh Tuan, and the children World Vision Vietnam's Areas Programs.
