Program Details

We are implementing social care programs for about 100 vulnerable individuals, including orphans, abandoned children, elderly people without family support, and people with disabilities at social protection centers in Da Nang City. These individuals have suffered emotional trauma and are in need of love and compassion. Our programs aim to stabilize and improve their mental well-being. Volunteers will support the care of abandoned infants, teach English and life skills to orphans, care for the elderly, and organize recreational activities for people with disabilities. When they arrive, our staff and other volunteers will provide you with training on how to prepare and conduct the activities. If they have a background in social work, childcare, elderly care, or disability care, we highly encourage them to apply your knowledge and experience to our activities and to share them with us and other volunteers to further develop and improve the program. Each week, you will work approximately 15 hours for this program. During your free time, you will have the opportunity to assist with teaching and healthcare programs.

Activities & Shift

In the mornings, you will work at Social Support Centers. On two afternoons each week, you will continue working at the Social Support Centers, while on the other afternoons, you will be assigned to support with teaching and healthcare programs.

Rules

If you are from a country that requires a visa to enter Vietnam, you will need to apply for a volunteer visa to join our program. We will guide you through the volunteer visa application process after you have confirmed your participation in the program.
