Get Involved

Our charity in Vietnam can't do anything without you.  Girls can't receive an education without a sponsor or receive scholarships to stay in school without someone to donate the funds for their scholarships. Support programs and staff to carry out our work all cost money.

Below are some ways you can help us to keep girls in school, safe and educated.

A long term commitment to sponsor
a girl's education

CEF frequently receives requests for educational support for children who are orphaned or from poor or challenged circumstances. The best help for these children is a long-term commitment to their education. We provide sponsors with annual photos, a letter or drawing from the child and a report on them including their school results. US$260/ $320 / $385 a year for a sponsorship depending on the child's school year.

Support programs you could get behind

CEF has a variety of support programs to help the girls obtain maximum benefit from their education. Support programs include: Emergency Support, Food Support, Medical Support, Tet Food Parcels, Mentoring, and Bikes for School. Our workshops provide further support: Water Safety Day,  Life skills Workshop, Girls to Women ~ Female Health and Hygiene,  Child Sexual Abuse, and Education Against Trafficking.

A scholarship to enable a girl from near
the border to stay safe and in school

In order to keep the girls in school and safe, CEF provides scholarships to help high school girls from ethnic communities in a mountainous area near the Vietnam-Laos border. Most trafficking in Vietnam takes place along its borders. Photos and an annual report on the project are sent to each person who takes on a scholarship. The cost is US$300 a year for a scholarship for a high school girl in the mountains to keep her safe and support her to be educated.cef

Volunteer in the US or in Vietnam

Self-funded long-term volunteers are a blessing to an NGO overseas, but at present due to Covid this is not possible.  But there are other ways to contribute. We have volunteer advisers with NGO experience, an annual volunteer doing end of year assessments for one project, volunteers who recruit sponsors, who fundraise (for example selling chocolates or running a garage sale) and we have volunteer board members.  If you would like to volunteer your skills or knowledge please get in touch.

Some of the girl who are sponsored

Picture
Truc's dad died of diabetes. Mum left her and her siblings with her parents and went to work in HCM City where she had a fatal accident. Truc's grandparents can look after her with the support they now have from her sponsor. 
Picture
Linh was abandoned by her mother when she was three months old. She lived with granny and granddad, until granny died about a year ago, now she just lives with granddad. Her sponsorship allows her to stay in school.
Picture
Thu's father had a bad work accident and is a paraplegic.  Thu was able to continue her education due to being sponsored.  Mum can't work much due to having dad to care for, Thu's younger siblings and an older sister with Down's Syndrome. 
​Note:Thu stopped her education in grade 10 as it was too difficult for her ability, she then worked and waited for a vocational training course. 
Thank you for your interest in CEF and for your support!
