Our Journey Towards A More Sustainable Future Will Mean Empowering People To Ensure That No One Is Left Behind
It all started when… The two Founders, Tran Thi Ngoc Tran and Huynh Le Khanh, met at a public university in Vietnam many years ago. Very quickly, their work relationship grew into real friendship because they both are passionate about community development through education. Such passion was born out of their belief and personal experience that education and communication can influence a person’s behavior positively, equip them to take greater control of their own lives, and contribute to changing society. For the past 15 years, Khanh and Tran have successfully completed multiple community projects. They varied from professional development (e.g. STEM Teachers’ English Maximizer program targeting STEM teachers, and Future for Women program targeting women entrepreneurs; both were initiated by Tran and received funding from the U.S government) to socio-emotional development (e.g. Girl Rising curriculum targeting teenagers in which Khanh served as a trainer), and climate action (e.g. The River of Life hosted by British Council where Khanh was a trainer, speaker, and mentor), and marriage equality (e.g. I Do campaign initiated and hosted by ISEE and ICS where Khanh being a strategic advisor and facilitator for the whole campaign), and education and job opportunity for deaf and dumb children (e.g. H.U.N project equips deaf and dumb children with all levels of education and career opportunity in which Khanh being a volunteer to operate funding activities). In order to ensure sustainability in our community initiatives, we knew that it is important to create a registered organization where we can build a wider team to expand our efforts and make a bigger impact. As a result, For Good Vietnam was born in December 2021.
