Welcome

Save the Children organisations from the UK, US, Sweden and Japan established their individual representative office in Vietnam since the 1990s.  In July 2009, the four organisations officially unified their operations to achieve more for children through greater leveraging of experience, technical expertise and resources. Save the Children in Vietnam is currently focusing on the areas of Health and Nutrition, HIV/AIDS and Youth Health, Child Protection, Education, Emergency, Child Rights Agenda and Livelihood. Save the Children currently works locally in over 34 provinces and at the national level, with a representative office in Hanoi and two regional offices in Danang City and Ho Chi Minh City. Through strong partnerships, Save the Children mobilises communities, builds capacity, provides technical assistance, and engages in evidence-based advocacy.  Save the Children in Vietnam receives financial assistance from various resources, including bilateral donors, private corporations, foundations, members of Save the Children Alliance and other donors.
