For over 35 years our small group of dedicated volunteers has been quietly changing lives across South East Asia.
Each year we have small groups who travel to Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos to improve schools, health care centres, orphanages, hospitals and kindergartens, build small houses, improve drinking and toilet water systems – but most importantly, bring hope. From volunteering to raise funds at the Eumundi Markets to working in remote villages, our members have transformed the lives of thousands, and this is the remarkable story of Project Vietnam Inc.
Discover how we as a true grassroots charity operate without corporate funding and with nothing but heart and soul. This year we returned to Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos carrying much-needed humanitarian aid.
Laos 2025
Our team was split into three locations where they renovated a classroom and toilet, built a new accommodation building to house families of patients undergoing surgery and rehabilitation, and constructed a toilet block to service a local village, which also required a new 5,000-litre water tank.
Vietnam 2025
We financed a remote project to upgrade a kindergarten including a new well and kitchen.
Cambodia 2025
Two small houses were built and we funded the construction of two more with toilets, carried out by local contractors.
