Blue DragonBlue Dragon
The first street kid we met in 2003 asked for English lessons to attract better-paying foreign shoeshine customers. Other kids needed clothing, medicine, good food – and someone to talk to. Many of the kids loved football, but had no opportunity to join safe, healthy activities. Two boys ended up at the police station and needed support to attend court. Kids needed long-term care, shelter, educational opportunities and escape from their places of slavery.
At Blue Dragon today, we provide all of these services and more, tailored to the individual needs of each child: education, nutrition, health care, counselling, physical and creative activities, rescue, legal advocacy and safe shelter led by our team of social workers, psychologists, teachers and lawyers. The children we work with have a deep commitment to improving their lives.

Children VietnamChildren Vietnam
The work of the Foundation is carried out exclusively by unpaid volunteers. By maintaining a volunteer-only staff, essentially all of the raised funds go directly to assisting the children who need help. Our volunteers raise funds through various activities including sales, fundraiser events, and mail requests for donations. Our volunteers also personally deliver and monitor distribution of money and other means of support to the orphanages and hospitals in Vietnam, ensuring the recipient children’s welfare.

Charities that operate outside of Vietnam


Catalyst foundationCatalyst Foundation
Catalyst Foundation is currently working to build communities to fight human trafficking.  Our story, the work we do, and our fight to stop trafficking was featured in three episodes of the “CNN Freedom Project” in February  2012.
For children and families living in extreme poverty in Vietnam, Catalyst Foundation is a humanitarian organization that supports community programs to provide basic needs, job opportunities, counseling and education to prevent the trafficking of young children. We believe that through these support mechanisms, the cycle of poverty can be broken and we can be the catalyst for hope.
