Project Vietnam Foundation in a US-Based non-profit organization headquartered in Orange County, California. They serve both Vietnamese and Vietnamese-American communities both locally and in Vietnam. Their missions in Vietnam serves the impoverished rural areas of Vietnam with sustainable healthcare through surgical outreach programs, primary care missions with medical and dental missions, public health projects and medical training programs. For the Vietnamese-American communities in Orange County, their Bright Futures program serves to deliver support to families struggling with Mental Health issues with their youths.  

Since 1996, Project Vietnam Foundation has provided medical assistance to Vietnam, initially as a Global program of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), then as an separate non-profit organization in order to expand and serve the needy families of Vietnam

From the Northern highlands to the flooded plains of the Mekong Delta, Project Vietnam has organized mission trips to underserved areas of Vietnam continuously. We have focused on serving ethnic minorities and poor families in some of the country’s most remote rural locations. We bring health care to the needy through surgical corrections for children with birth deformities and eye defects, medical exams and treatment to villages and schools, and training to health personnel at all level of the medical system, from villages to hospitals and academic centers.

Their long-term programs have assisted the development of crucial services: newborn health, emergency care, cardiac treatment, training for disaster management, and promoted important guidelines for children health care. Their Newborn Care Initiative is especially successful, in creating model projects and training programs to decrease infant mortality.

Through the annual medical missions, our medical teams have improved the health of tens of thousands of children and their families, and our training programs benefit millions of children. 

They could not have achieved such success without the contribution of their donors and friends, the collaboration of their partner organizations, and the heartfelt involvement of our volunteers. They are looking forward to continuing the work and to share with you their new directions towards building sustainability!
