Creating opportunities and empowering the people of Vietnam

The Asia Foundation has been supporting Vietnam's ongoing transformation since 1993. Yet despite Vietnam's remarkable record in poverty reduction, much work still needs to be done. When you give to The Asia Foundation's Vietnam Fund in any amount, you are helping to establish an environment in which the people of Vietnam can create better lives for themselves and their communities.

Support our Scholarship Program for Disadvantaged Girls
Combat exploitation and trafficking by helping girls stay in school.


"With continued scholarship support from The Asia Foundation, I definitely want to finish high school and become a teacher.  I really hope to travel to remote areas and teach other disadvantaged children so they can also go to school like me."  - Chein, scholarship recipient.

Our Scholarship Program for Disadvantaged Girls provides four-year scholarships to girls living in rural Vietnam to keep them in school. Often, poor families pull their daughters out of school to work when they reach their teens. Unfortunately, many migrate in search of employment – only to become vulnerable to exploitation and trafficking.

It doesn't take much – for $25 a month, or $360 a year – you can support a girl through an entire year of high school, including tuition, supplies, uniforms, and a bicycle for traveling to and from school.  With your help, young women in Vietnam can stay in school and receive an education – while reducing the chances that they will fall victim to trafficking.

Your support will create a brighter future for girls in Vietnam, and give them the chance to reach their full potential.
