The Partner-Finding Tool
Volunteerism for Community Development & Environment Education(V4D) is a non-government, non-profit organization in Vietnam with a mission to build global community events through local environmental and community services.
As the first local Non-Government volunteer organization in Vietnam with official status to have volunteer programs, we provides opportunities that make a difference to the lives of people from all parts of the world. The organization also works to setup sustainable projects to protect the environment, provide basic education for vulnerable groups, and encourage community development and cultural exchange.
V4D is managed by the Vietnam Association for Conservation of Nature and Environment (VACNE) with the support of Youth in Action program of European Commission in capacity building, and CCIVS (Co-ordinating Committee for International Voluntary Service) in the volunteer management.
What we do
The projects we offer can be undertaken on either a short or long term basis and focus on traditional education, environment education and community development. There are numerous projects for volunteers at V4D both in urban and rural areas. We also have tailor-made internship programs to suit the volunteer’s interests and skills.
BUILDING CAPACITY FOR ETHNIC MINORITY GROUP
We endeavours to promote ethnic minority empowerment through Capacity Building Programme for Ethnic Minorities was designed especially for ethnic minority group with vocational training classes and community development activities are undertaken through the coordination of field facilitators. The programme focuses on thematic areas which particularly and appropriately address the needs of learners and their communities as determined through community-based needs assessment surveys. These include:
Income generation projects, for example, poultry farming and business skills training in marketing and micro-credit management
Healthy living education focusing on HIV/AIDS, sanitation, nutrition, reproductive health and family planning, diseases prevention
Agriculture, for example, home gardening, animal and poultry farming, integrated farming
Gender equity (including women's empowerment)
Environment: conservation, for example, tree planting and appropriate use of natural resources.
Promote poverty alleviation through community development.
IMPROVING CAPACITY FOR RURAL YOUTH
We believe Education is fundamental to human progress, enabling individuals and communities to acquire skills and knowledge essential for improving their quality of life. But for vulnerable groups like rural teenagers access to high quality education is limited. while this teenagers must be a major part of any equation dealing with immediate and long-term solutions to sustainable development.
As an informal education program, Our objective is to help these teenagers realize more of their potential and enjoy expanded capabilities to address the increasing global social, economic and environmental challenges we face on. This will be done in real work situations, and organize training courses about the Essential Successful Living Skills.
