Association Enfance Partenariat Vietnam

What Association Enfance Partenariat Vietnam does

Enfance Partenariat Vietnam (EPVN) is a French humanitarian association governed by the loi 1901, founded in 2007/2008 and headquartered at 24 Rue Saint-Honoré, Versailles. Its mission is to improve living conditions for orphaned children and families living below the poverty line in Vietnam, primarily through child sponsorship, orphanage support, education and vocational training, medical follow-up, food aid, sanitation infrastructure, and sustainable livestock projects (pigs, goats). The organization reports completion of over 140 projects in Vietnam, with documented outcomes including 400 sponsored children, 1,300 daily meals, 60 pico-turbines, 800 solar lamps, and 10 km of village roads; operational delivery on the ground relies on three part-time employees in Vietnam and formal partnerships with provincial chapters of the Vietnamese Red Cross.

The association's revenue model is donation-driven and community-led. Funding sources include individual donations (eligible for a 66% French tax deduction for individuals and 60% for companies), annual family memberships at €10/year, resale of Vietnamese handicrafts at in-person events, ticket sales from theater nights, tombolas, and occasional gala dinners, plus contributions from corporate partners and foundations (Fondation BNP Paribas, EDF CCAS/CMCAS, GCF de l'OCDE, Habillez-moi, Burger King Versailles, Ekobo, Bonton, and others). In 2014, approximately 50% of resources came from donations and memberships; no current revenue figure is disclosed. Go-to-market is event-driven and community-led: 600 volunteer members in France organize braderies, Tết celebrations, theater performances, and solidarity weeks, supplemented by social media (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, X/Twitter), a monthly 'Feuille de Riz' newsletter, and earned media coverage on TV78 and Vietnamese outlets.

There is no proprietary technology platform: the association operates a WordPress website hosted on OVH, uses CIC/Apayer.fr and HelloAsso for online donations and ticketing, and partners with SQYWEB for site maintenance. Distribution is primarily domestic (France) for fundraising and event-based, while program delivery is in-country Vietnam. The organization is led by President Florence Cavalier, with Mai Chi serving as local correspondent in Vietnam and Michel Vuillermoz (sociétaire of the Comédie Française) as patron. EPVN is GDPR-compliant, holds no patents or trademarks, has no parent or subsidiary entities, and is sustained entirely by volunteers and small-scale institutional support rather than institutional investors.

Scale indicators14 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Plan International France: French affiliate of the global child-rights organization, sponsoring children and running education/protection programs across Asia. Comparable through child sponsorship, donor base, and Vietnam presence, but at materially greater scale and brand recognition.
• La Chaîne de l'Espoir: Larger French humanitarian organization focused on children's health, surgery, and education across multiple developing countries including Vietnam. Overlapping child-welfare mission but operates at greater scale with broader geographic mandate.
• Aide et Action: International French-headquartered NGO working on access to quality education for vulnerable children, with presence in Southeast Asia. Comparable on education and child-focused programs but significantly larger and more diversified.
• Action contre la Faim: Major French humanitarian organization addressing hunger, including nutrition and food security programs relevant to EPVN's 1,300 daily meals program. Overlaps on food assistance and Vietnam presence but is much larger and focused primarily on acute malnutrition.

Emerging players

• France Volontaires: French public-interest association promoting international volunteering and solidarity missions. Overlaps with EPVN's annual solidarity stays sending 30+ young French volunteers to Vietnam, though FRV operates as a broader mobility platform rather than a direct service provider.
• La Maison du Vietnam: Online Vietnamese fine-food retailer whose round-up donation mechanism (via Paygreen) directly supports EPVN. A commercial partner rather than a competitor, but illustrates the niche ecosystem of Franco-Vietnamese community organizations that share audience overlap with EPVN.

Direct peers

• Enfants & Développement: French NGO running child welfare, education, and family support projects in Southeast Asia including Vietnam. Comparable through France-based operations, child sponsorship model, and on-the-ground partnerships with local NGOs.
• Enfants du Mékong: France-based nonprofit supporting children in Vietnam through sponsorship, education, and family development. Closest direct peer given shared France-to-Vietnam mandate, sponsorship program, and volunteer-driven fundraising model.
