We have been working in Vietnam since 1989. Support was initially directed toward leprosariums, orphanages, and projects benefiting ethnic minorities in the Central Highlands. Our work has focused on ethnic minorities in Kontum Province in the Highlands and those in several provinces in the Mekong Delta.

Nouvelle Planète Vietnam, based in Ho Chi Minh City, coordinates and monitors our work in the field.

What we do in Vietnam :

Nouvelle Planète continues its work on behalf of ethnic minorities. We are currently focusing our efforts in two provinces :

  • In Quand Nam in the Highlands, in two municipalities in the district of Tây Giang : A Vương and Dang
  • In Tra Vinh in the Mekong Delta, in the district of Trà Cu

These are municipalities and villages with the highest poverty rates and ethnic minority populations. The projects mainly focus on water and promotion of biogas.
