Vietnam

Sri-Lanka-Hero
Overview

A Timeless Charm

Bordering China, Laos, and Cambodia, and stretching along the South China Sea, Vietnam is home to over 100 million people and a variety of ethnic groups. Despite its rapid growth, many rural communities still face hardship—particularly in the northern highlands, where access to education and resources is limited. Our volunteering projects focus on wildlife conservation, eco-farming and youth development in these areas - we aim to make a big impact in disadvantaged communities. Based around Sa Pa and the Yen Bai province in the north of the country, these programmes support the protection of endangered wildlife, the implementation of sustainable farming practices and provide opportunities for local children through English education and sports coaching.
