About FAVAD

A Bridge Between
France & Vietnam

FAVAD — France Association Vietnam Aides aux Démunis — is a registered charitable organization under French law (July 1st 1901), established on September 2nd, 2004 in Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, France.

For over 20 years, we have coordinated with local Vietnamese associations, Catholic churches, and Buddhist organizations to deliver direct, meaningful help to those who need it most — especially in the provinces of Ca Mau, Vinh, Binh Duong, Da Lat, and Ho Chi Minh City.

Every donation is traceable to a concrete project. Our small but dedicated team ensures transparency and direct impact.
