Trafficking

Catalyst Foundation was founded in 1999, focused on improving the lives of orphaned, abandoned, and homeless children in Vietnam.

Using a holistic community development approach, Catalyst addresses some of the root causes of child trafficking including extreme poverty and is able to raise awareness, provide access to school and increase economic opportunities for over 200 children and their families.

The Vision

“We firmly believe that the most effective way to break the cycle of poverty is to strategically empower whole communities by educating, providing training and employment, building safe and sanitary dwellings, and empowering children to stand up with dignity.”

- Caroline Nguyễn Ticarro, Founder and Executive Director of Catalyst Foundation
