OVERVIEW

We are currently implementing physical and mental healthcare projects for around 200 vulnerable individuals, including orphans, people with disabilities, and elderly persons without family support. They are in need of physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and mental health therapy services. By joining this program, you will gain a valuable experience as a volunteer contributing to improving the quality of life for the most disadvantaged people.

REQUIREMENTS 

• Minimum Age: 18 years old

THE PROGRAM DETAILS

We will arrange for you to stay at a volunteer house called the Green House, located about 5 km from downtown Da Nang. The Green House is a clean, comfortable, and safe place to live. Here, you will have the opportunity to meet and connect with volunteers from many different countries around the world. You will live and work alongside them, sharing memorable experiences as a volunteer in Vietnam. We will provide daily meals, transportation to your project sites, and a team of Vietnamese staff who speak English well and are ready to support you throughout your volunteer work with the organization.

You don’t need any special skills to join this program. All you need is compassion and a desire to help ease the pain and hardship of those in difficult circumstances — abandoned children, people with disabilities, and homeless elderly individuals. Our staff team and other volunteers will work with you to plan activities, and will accompany you to the placement sites to carry out the work.

During your time with us, we will also offer cultural activities so you can learn more about Vietnamese culture, such as Vietnamese language lessons, cooking classes, city tours around Da Nang, and shared dinners with Vietnamese people and fellow volunteers. At the end of your program, we will present you with a certificate of participation and a small souvenir as a token of appreciation.
