A Changing Landscape
Vietnam has made strides in education, but rural and ethnic minority communities—especially in the Mekong Delta and central highlands—still face deep inequities. English is increasingly valued in schools and careers, yet for many students, learning it means memorizing phrases from a blackboard without ever hearing how they sound.

​

What We’re Doing
Hope Through English brings English to life for students in small towns and villages through:

• Volunteer-led virtual conversation groups
   

• Visual vocabulary activities tied to local culture and environment
   

• Practice in everyday topics like weather, food, and family life
   

Student Reflection
"I learned how to say the name of my hometown in English. It made me proud." — Linh, age 11

Why It Matters
Fluency gives students more than just better test scores—it gives them the ability to share their stories, explore opportunities, and connect with the world beyond their village.
