CONTEXT

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.

World Vision International in Viet Nam (WVIV) is supported by multiple countries and funded through a combination of sponsorship programs (majority) and Private Non-Sponsorship (PNS)/grants. WVIV operates across multiple provinces and implements Area Development Programs (ADPs) that focus on communities with high levels of poverty, often including ethnic minority populations. In addition to ADPs, WVIV implements various Special and Grant Projects to address the specific needs of vulnerable children in both ADP and non-ADP areas.

WVIV is headquartered in Hanoi, while majority of staff are based locally in ADPs and project sites across the country which enables them to work closely with government partners and communities daily.

WVIV in partnership with the Hagar International in Vietnam and UNODC, plans to implement the project in Quang Tri, Nghe An and Ha Tinh Provinces, in 30 months, from 2026 to 2029.

The project is a multi-year initiative funded by the UK Home Office Modern Slavery Fund and implemented through a consortium of international and national partners. It aims to reduce vulnerability to human trafficking and unsafe migration by strengthening prevention, protection, survivor reintegration, and partnership systems in Vietnam. WVIV leads implementation in Quang Tri and Ha Tinh Provinces, working closely with government agencies, community partners, employers, vocational institutions and consortium partners to deliver integrated, survivor-centred interventions.
