Today we visited the VinaCapital Foundation, which is a non-government organization and a non-profit that focuses on helping the ethnic minority groups throughout Vietnam. They accomplish this mission by building programs that benefit children, young girls, and mothers in need. For example, they give free heart surgeries to children and they provide financial, sexual reproduction, legal, and leadership education through girls clubs at school. These programs follow their philosophy of healthy children create healthy mothers, healthy mothers create healthy communities, and healthy communities create a healthier Vietnam. The organization aims to help the young girls who are forced into marriage, abused, and have a high risk of dying very young. We met with CEO Rad Kivette who taught us about the normalized abuse of women in rural Vietnam. He also talked about how the organization approaches creating change by working top down and bottom up. The top down approach is providing solutions to the young girls to prevent and address the harmful situations they are at high risk for, such as their education in girls clubs program. The bottom up approach is helping the women who are unfortunately already in those situations, such as providing medical care to them and their children. I think these solutions are similar to methods in developed countries because they emphasize education for the people in need. I think going forward the foundation should address the problem of educated citizens not relocating out of the rural communities.
