Volunteer in Vietnam
Anyone who decides to volunteer in Vietnam will see the spirit of the old country living on through its temples, colonial buildings and traditional villages. One thing the country is trying to consign to the past though is the acute poverty that afflicts much of the country. Volunteering in Vietnam is a great way to help the country move on from its troubled past as well as seeing a country too often missed off travellers’ itinerary.
Opportunities for Volunteering in Vietnam
As is the case in much of Asia, poverty is a huge problem and many Vietnamese struggle to make ends meet. The efforts of those who volunteer in Vietnam are crucial to the continued success of the many volunteer projects that we work with. By volunteering in Vietnam you’ll help important community, building and teaching projects across the country. Some of our most popular projects include teaching English in Hanoi and doing community work with orphans in Ho Chi Minh City. To find out more about volunteering in Vietnam take a look at the projects and resources below. Or visit our Gap Year Vietnam and Travel Vietnam sections.
If you want to volunteer in Asia but can’t find what you’re looking for don’t forget we work with a range of volunteer projects across Asia working in all sorts of places from schools to jungles and tropical beaches to monasteries.
