World Vision Viet Nam (WVIV) is supported by multiple countries and funded through a combination of sponsorship programs (majority) and Private Non-Sponsorship (PNS)/grants. WVIV operates across multiple provinces and implements Area Development Programs (ADPs) that focus on communities with high levels of poverty, often including ethnic minority populations. In addition to ADPs, WVIV implements various Special and Grant Projects to address the specific needs of vulnerable children in both ADP and non-ADP areas. WVIV is headquartered in Hanoi, while majority of staff are based locally in ADPs and project sites across the country which enables them to work closely with government partners and communities on a daily basis.
