Our Programs and Results
The Library Project has been supporting schools and communities in Vietnam since 2006, implementing programs such as Reading Rooms, Reading Corners, and Literacy Bags. To date, we have donated libraries to more than 125 rural elementary schools and 35 orphanages, reaching over 25,000 children across the country.
Our programs provide students with access to quality, age-appropriate books and vibrant learning spaces that inspire creativity, curiosity, and a lifelong love of reading. By working closely with educators, local partners, and community leaders, we ensure that every donation strengthens literacy and learning outcomes.
The Library Project operates in Ho Chi Minh City, Vinh Long, An Giang, Binh Phuoc, and Tay Ninh, with our Vietnam office located in Ho Chi Minh City.
Education System
Education in Vietnam is divided into five levels: pre-primary, primary, intermediate, secondary, and higher education. The government’s focus is on improving general knowledge, developing a skilled workforce, and nurturing young talent. As one of Asia’s fastest-growing economies, Vietnam continues to modernize its education system to meet global standards, with an increasing emphasis on English-language learning and international curriculum development.
Despite these advances, challenges persist. Public schools remain underfunded, and only half of primary school tuition is subsidized by the government. While enrollment rates are high, the quality of education in rural and remote areas often falls below national standards. Many students drop out after the fifth grade because families cannot afford the costs of continuing education.
The Library Project works alongside schools, teachers, and local governments to help close these gaps. By building libraries, providing high-quality books, and supporting teachers and parents, we help ensure that more children—especially in rural communities—have access to the educational resources they need to read, learn, and thrive.
