Programme Volunteer (CARE International)

About Care

CARE International in Vietnam (CVN) is a creative and dynamic organisation, which has worked with Vietnamese, and international partner organisations since 1989 in over 300 projects. We recognise that the key to achieving equitable development outcomes lies in addressing deeply rooted, structural underlying causes of poverty and injustices which contribute to the exclusion and vulnerability of particular groups in society. Our long term programme goals in Vietnam are that poor and marginalised ethnic minority and urban people of all genders, particularly women, equitably benefit from development, are resilient to changing circumstances and have a legitimate voice.
