CFSI’s work in Vietnam includes social assistance programs building on on CFSI’s many years of experience with refugees and asylum seekers from Viet Nam in various parts of East Asia, particularly Hong Kong and the Philippines. The impetus was two-fold:
(1) fostering the repatriation of those Vietnamese denied refugee status in first asylum countries in East Asia and
(2) promoting the well-being of children in Viet Nam in exceptionally difficult circumstances and in need of special protection.
