World Vision has been a steadfast presence in East Asia since 1950, operating in Cambodia, China, Lao PDR, Mongolia, Myanmar, North Korea, Thailand, and Viet Nam. Our multisector programmes are tailored to the needs and priorities of local communities. With the support of over 2,200 staff, more than 99% of whom are local, we deliver impactful and sustainable solutions.

This policy brief provides a call to action for development partners of Viet Nam and Thailand as the primary destination of choice for Vietnamese migrants, to address key drivers of distress migration in communities of origin and to make migration safer, more humane and more just for Vietnamese parents and children alike, providing more support for those who stay behind and those who go, empowering children to help shape a better future for themselves.

World Vision Viet Nam has successfully advocated for implementation of Essential Nutrition Actions in the most vulnerable areas together with the Scaling Up Nutrition movement’s Civil Society Alliance.

In Viet Nam, the electricity supply is still insufficient in rural and remote areas due to some economic reasons while natural power has not been fully utilized yet. Considering this context and the blessed abundant sunlight for Viet Nam, solar power can be a green solution for the community here.

Climate change drives migration in Southeast Asia, impacting vulnerable families and children. This report explores the intersection of climate, poverty, and injustice.

The East Asia region is home to an estimated 155.2 million people living in extreme poverty. The challenges faced by families in meeting their basic needs and securing their livelihoods are exacerbated by the impacts of climate change, increasing frequency and severity of natural disasters, conflict, and rising costs of living.

World Vision East Asia’s first child-led research on climate action and disaster mitigation reveals that underpinned by the low to moderate levels of disaster preparedness in vulnerable communities, there is a pressing need to strengthen climate education (formal and informal) and disaster mitigation through school programmes and social media channels.

Child-led research is about giving children a voice. Listening to their hopes and aspirations means that our projects and programmes must be more responsive to their needs and more impactful on their future. World Vision would not deliver projects in local communities without first talking to the people who live and work there and involving them in the decisions that affect their lives.
