what we do
 

Blue Dragon is a grassroots foundation working with kids in
crisis throughout Vietnam.

With education at the heart of everything we do, Blue Dragon sets out to transform the lives of the poorest children and families.

Our kids come from many backgrounds, but all are in difficult circumstances and need a chance to make a change.

We meet the kids on the streets, at their workplaces,
or in their homes, and work with them until they can stand on their own feet, and live happy, prosperous lives.

 
 

Our range of services to children includes:

  • Social workers – making individual plans and monitoring children’s progress
  • Child Rights Advocacy – standing up for kids when they are in conflict with the law
  • Psychological services – offering counselling and group therapy to help kids deal with their issues
  • Accommodation – giving kids a place to live in a healthy family environment
  • School fee relief – enabling the poorest of the poor to afford a basic education
  • Vocational training – offering opportunities for older teens to explore vocational courses, from computing to cooking
  • Employment counselling – helping teens to think about their futures, and supporting them to find good jobs
  • A drop-in center – providing a safe haven for children to play and learn
  • Creative therapy – engaging kids through drama, art, music and dance

Blue Dragon achieves its aims utilising professional Vietnamese staff and long-term international volunteers.
We see the girls and boys as part of our extended family, and we care for them accordingly.

"All children have the right
to be children: to be safe,
to attend school, to play,
to be treated with respect,
to be heard, to be under-
stood and to be loved."
