In Vietnam there are nearly 5.5 million children and youth living in hardship, who “experience at least two deprivations in education, health, nutrition, shelter, water and sanitation, or social inclusion.” (UNICEF report 2023).
Every year, Worldwide Orphans in Vietnam makes a difference by serving over 5000 children and youth, addressing their needs and supporting their well-being. These individuals face challenges that adversely impact their quality of life and independence. The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated these challenges, underscoring their vulnerability in our society.
Living contexts include children and youth in hard-to-reach areas, vulnerable underserved communities, and those in orphanages/shelters who are orphans or social orphans[1]. Risk factors range from serious illnesses, developmental disorders, and disabilities to recurring traumas, developmental risk factors, lack of parental care, and financial challenges leading to school dropout or limited access to education.
The developmental needs of this population, therefore, are tremendous. Worldwide Orphans in Vietnam collaborates with stakeholders to provide them with opportunities to overcome their physical, mental and financial challenges.
