EVERY ACTION COUNTS
Creating lasting change through art, education, and community.
Campaign | DO NOT LITTER: Vietnam generates approximately 8,000 tonnes of plastic waste every day. Through creative education, community art, and hands-on activities, GIVE Sustainable inspires preschool children to develop lifelong habits of caring for the environment-one small action at a time. (WWF Vietnam, 2021).
Project | SAVE THE PARROTFISH In collaboration with Saigonmuse, GIVE Sustainable created the Save the Parrotfish campaign, transforming upcycled garments into hand-embroidered artworks that raise awareness of the vital role parrotfish play in protecting Vietnam’s coral reef ecosystems.
Of Vietnam’s 3,260 km coastline, only 1% of coral reefs remain in excellent condition, with most threatened by pollution, overfishing, and warming seas. Through art, we hope to inspire communities to protect one of our oceans’ most important yet overlooked species. (Nhan Dan, 2014).
Project | SAFETY STAR PROGRAM Every day, approximately 18 children lose their lives to preventable injuries in Vietnam. Most are caused by drowning, road traffic accidents, falls, choking, and burns. The Safety Star Program empowers preschool children, parents, and nursery and preschool educators through art-based safety education, helping families and schools create safer environments for every child. According to World Bank data, Vietnam had 8,876,320 primary school students enrolled in 2024. (World Bank, 2024).
Report | OUR IMPACT IN 2025 At GIVE Sustainable, we connect these dots-transforming awareness into action through art, environmental education, and community engagement. Since 2024, Our coastal community programs have reached and impacted 40,287 people, including 1,666 children and 322 preschool teachers across Vietnam.
