EVERY ACTION COUNTS
Plastic Waste: Vietnam produces approximately 8,000 tons of plastic waste every day — equivalent to nearly 5,800 plastic bottles discarded every second (WWF Vietnam, 2021).
Coral Reefs: Of Vietnam’s 3,260 km of coastline, only 1% of coral reefs remain in excellent condition, with most showing signs of degradation due to pollution and warming seas (Nhan Dan, 2014).
Youth Potential: With over 9.2 million elementary school students enrolled nationwide, Vietnam holds a powerful key to change — a generation ready to learn, lead, and protect our natural world (World Bank, 2023).
One action. One child. One ripple at a time.
At GIVE, we connect these dots — transforming awareness into impact through arts, environmental education, and community engagement.
