We strive for a Vietnam where children can learn and thrive without fear, hunger or exploitation... where the rights of women and children are protected and their voices are heard... where homes and communities across Viet Nam have access to the resources they need to chart safe, productive futures.

MISSION

HSCV provides Vietnam’s most vulnerable groups with the opportunities, tools and resources to build a better future.

OUR FOUNDERS

When Chuck DeVet and his daughter Annetta visited Vietnam in 2001, they experienced a country emerging from decades of hardship. Wherever they travelled they met ambitious young minds ready to demonstrate Vietnam’s potential to the world. For many of these people the only thing missing was opportunity.

Inspired by the energy they felt in the country, Chuck and Annetta decided to start an organization to provide support to young children. After learning that organizations in active the North of Vietnam were scarce, they made Hanoi and its surrounding provinces their base. HSCV was born.

OUR TEAM

HSCV team members have a wide range of backgrounds and experiences. We work in unity towards the common goal of assisting children, women and families in need in Vietnam. We strive to insure that every dollar is spent wisely and with purpose to produce the maximum benefit for the children.
