The campaign has now expired but it's not too late to support this charity.
Visit the charity's profileIt's estimated that one in five Vietnamese children live in poverty. They're often forced to leave school and look for work far from home, putting them at risk of homelessness and human trafficking.
Established in 2004 by an Australian teacher, Blue Dragon is on a mission to protect children from homelessness and human trafficking. From the humble beginnings of helping six street children in Hanoi, the organisation now supports over 30,000 children and families all over Vietnam.
Blue Dragon rescues children from homelessness, and children and adults who have been trafficked into forced labour, sex slavery and forced "marriage". After rescuing kids from danger, Blue Dragon reunites them with their family and provides all the support needed for recovery and growth.
Over the past 20 years, thousands of children have better lives thanks to Blue Dragon’s wonderful community of supporters.
