Catalyst Foundation

Catalyst Foundation
A US registered nonprofit

Northfield, MN USA

Catalyst Foundation's mission is to improve the lives of families in Vietnam through anti-trafficking & community development programs.

Catalyst Foundation firmly believes in working collectively with local communities in raising awareness, providing access to education, increasing economic opportunities, and generating a sense of empowerment.

The International Labor Organization (ILO) estimates that over 1.3 million persons have been trafficked into forced labor within Asia, representing over 55% of the world’s trafficking industry. For many years, Vietnam has been known as a “source country” for child trafficking. We work in partnership with local staff and communities to provide educational scholarships and life skills trainings that spread awareness of trafficking.

We NEED your support TODAY to continue our work.
