EMPOWERING AT-RISK AND DISADVANTAGED YOUTH IN VIETNAM
WE ARE KOTO - The first social enterprise in Vietnam.
Since establishment, we have worked to help people help themselves and help others. Thousands of underserved lives have been permanently changed for the better. Hundreds thousands more will be touched as we expand our operation from hospitality training to various fields including other vocational teachings, gender equality, and environmental impact.
We are different not because we claim to be the best in what we do, but we effortlessly want to go beyond the expectation of our stakeholders and have you say: “Wow, they are great!”. We aim to become 100% self sustained, and this is highly achievable thanks to our track record of excellent performance and bringing values.
Those we serve are organizations & corporations (be them governmental or non-governmental, profit or non profit) and individuals who trust in us and share the same vision of making the world more inclusive.
We provide positive, permanent change for at-risk and disadvantaged youth in a 2 year hospitality training programme that incorporates both vocation training and life skills. Graduates receive an internationally recognised accreditation from Australia’s Box Hill Institute and go on to lead long and rewarding careers in the hospitality industry.
But KOTO couldn’t do it without supporters like you.
