Join Our 7-Day Volunteer Program in Vietnam

Our vision is to create lasting, positive change by connecting dedicated professionals with communities in need. Through our 7-day volunteer program in Vietnam, we aim to empower local teams with valuable expertise in social work, special education, and child psychology. By sharing knowledge and skills, volunteers play a crucial role in strengthening programs that support vulnerable children and families.

Our purpose is to foster collaboration, learning, and sustainable impact. By working alongside local communities, volunteers contribute to meaningful, long-term change, ensuring that every effort leaves a lasting imprint on the lives of those we serve.

About the Work of Samaritan’s Purse in Vietnam

Since 1996, we have been dedicated to uplifting communities across Vietnam through education, health, and livelihood programs. From our early work with Operation Christmas Child and visually impaired students to expanding education and relief efforts in the northern highlands, we have continuously adapted to meet pressing needs. Over the years, we introduced WASH initiatives, maternal health support, and economic programs, helping families gain stability and security.

In response to emerging challenges, we launched safe migration workshops to combat human trafficking, expanded disaster relief efforts, and addressed child protection concerns. Our work now spans northern, central, and southern Vietnam, focusing on sustainable development and local capacity building. Through every challenge, we remain committed to empowering communities with hope, dignity, and resilience.
