World Vision International in Viet Nam

What World Vision International in Viet Nam does

World Vision International in Viet Nam (WVIV) is the Vietnam country office of World Vision International, a global Christian humanitarian organization, and has operated in Vietnam since 1988. WVIV is structured as a non-profit entity headquartered in Hanoi (9th floor, Mercury building, 444 Hoang Hoa Tham Street, Tay Ho Ward) with 74 employees, executing an integrated portfolio of five technical programs — Child Protection & Participation, Health & Nutrition, Livelihoods, Disaster Risk Reduction, and Cross-cutting Themes (advocacy, gender, disability, child participation) — plus eight Special Projects including the US Department of Labour-funded Against Child Exploitation (ACE) project, a Human Trafficking Prevention programme with World Vision Japan, and a Sustainable Livelihoods for Smallholder Farmers initiative with ADM Cares.

Programmatic delivery occurs through 29 Area Development Programs across 14 provinces and cities (some sources cite 12), reaching 145 wards/communes and operating 13 Micro Finance Branches. According to 2025 disclosure figures, WVIV serves 245,463 children annually with 176,083 of the most vulnerable reached directly, on an annual budget of USD 16.3 million. The underlying operating model is community-based and field-driven — there is no proprietary technology platform; operations rely on field offices, partner ministries, and standard non-profit programme management systems rather than software products or AI tooling.

WVIV does not sell products or services commercially. Its revenue model comprises (a) Child Sponsorship Programmes — contributions from international individual sponsors representing the majority of funding — and (b) Private Non-Sponsorship (PNS) grants from sovereign donors (KOICA, US Government, EU, Australian and New Zealand Governments), multilateral and INGO partners (ECHO, CARE, Plan International, WWF-Vietnam, Blue Action Fund), and corporate partners (ADM Cares, Mavin Group, P&G's Whisper, Panasonic, LG). The organization holds MOU-level partnerships with five Vietnamese government ministries (Labour/Invalids/Social Affairs, Education and Training, Health, Agriculture and Rural Development, Natural Resources and Environment) and with provincial People's Committees, in addition to mass-organization partners including the Women's Union, Youth Union, Red Cross, and Farmer's Associations.
