World Vision International in Vietnam
World Vision Vietnam (WVV) began working in Vietnam in 1960, providing support to orphaned children and orphanages. Over the past 30 years, WVV developed programs to provide support to homeless people, education and health for children separated from their families and orthopedic rehabilitation services. Following a break in service delivery after 1975, WVV re-commenced emergency relief assistance in 1988 and opened an office in Hanoi in 1990.

World Vision Vietnam - Our Work:
World Vision Vietnam is implementing 37 Area Programmes (APs) which operate in 5 zones: North 1 (Hoa Binh, Dien Bien), North 2 (Yen Bai, Tuyen Quang), North 3 (Hung Yên, Thanh Hoa, Hai Phong), Central (Quang Tri, Quang Nam, Danang) and South (Quang Ngai, Binh Thuan, Ho Chi Minh, DakNong).
WVV’s APs focus within one administrative district of a province which usually populated by ethnic minority people with very high rates of poverty. A uniqueness of WVV’s AP approach and structure is that team members are based at district level where the AP is located, which enables them to work closely with government partners and communities on a daily basis. Beside the APs, WVV is also implementing different Special and Grant Projects to meet the specific needs of vulnerable children in both AP and non-AP areas.
