What if your next adventure took you to a remote village — not just to visit, but to see the difference you helped create?

Imagine walking through Sung or Lao Chai Villages in Vietnam’s northern highlands. You’re welcomed into a family home, share a home-cooked meal, and hear firsthand how your support helped turn a modest homestay into a thriving community-led business.

This is Community-Based Tourism (CBT) — and it’s transforming lives. 

At Action on Poverty, we don’t do short-term fixes. We co-create long-term solutions that are designed to grow, sustain themselves, and scale. CBT is one of these solutions: a locally led model that reduces poverty, strengthens local economies, and builds lasting resilience that continues well beyond the initial support. 

Thanks to generous donors like you, we’ve already helped hundreds of families across Vietnam renovate homes, organise their villages, and gain hands-on training in hospitality, cultural guiding, and climate-smart farming. Families are becoming food secure. Women are stepping into leadership. Young people are choosing to stay and build their futures at home. Entire villages are becoming stronger, greener, and more resilient. 

Because CBT isn’t just about building better destination to visit — it’s about creating better places to live. 

Now, we’re ready to bring this opportunity to more villages like Sung and Lao Chai across Vietnam — and we need your support to make it happen. 

And with your support this EOFY, we can go even further. That’s the power of your donation.

Here’s how your donation helps: 

• $150 – Support community workshops to explore how tourism can benefit everyone. 

• $300 – Fund hands-on training in hospitality, cultural guiding, and sustainability. 

• $450 – Invest in climate-resilient farming to keep the village self-reliant and green. 

• $1,000 – Build a cultural gathering space that brings locals and visitors together. 

Give before 30 June and help more communities thrive — not just survive.
