Individual Volunteering
In the Da Nang region of Vietnam, many disadvantaged, orphaned and disabled children live in specialized homes, clinics and orphanages that are in need of every little bit of help they can get.
Volunteering with GGC Volunteers Ltd. is something that anyone can do! We have highly qualified staff and physiotherapists who will give you all the information and guidance you need to care for these children who are in desperate need of your help.
Your care and love can do so much more than you think!

These young people are so desperately in need of care, direction and a purpose. By volunteering you can help give them care and activities to fill their days with meaning.
While the Vietnam project requires no specific skills or training, some professions can be of real assistance in providing training and advice to local staff including nurses, dentists, physiotherapists, occupational and speech therapists, nutritionists, podiatrists and teachers just to name but a few.
Your volunteering experience in Vietnam is a true immersion. You will be supported and cared for by local Vietnamese staff and you will stay in a shared and secure volunteer house right near the beach in Da Nang. You will live amongst Vietnamese neighbours and our cook will provide you with delicious authentic local meals. Above all, you will be highly loved and respected by the Vietnamese people who are so grateful for your help.
