Welcome to Viet Nam
Known for its beautiful landscape (ranging from sandy beaches and lush jungles to jagged mountains and serene waterways), delicious food, beautiful boutiques and friendly people, Vietnam has become one of the top destinations in the region in the past couple of years.
However, there is more to Vietnam than just lazing on the beach or spending your days shopping. Travellers who dare to go off-the-beaten-track will discover impressive biodiversity, colourful ethnic minority groups and organisations who are working ensure the most disadvantaged people do not get left behind in the country's rapid rise as one of the most dynamic and fastest growing countries in the region.
The Broom Workshop
Located 10 km away from Da Nang, the Broom Workshop was set up as a means to help local women who have fallen on hard times. The product quality is now so high that nearly all are exported to regional markets, and travelers can now visit the workshop and learn the process of making brooms.
Hai Cafe
Located in the UNESCO World Heritage town of Hoi An, Hai Café is a shady oasis for both casual travelers and nature lovers. With trained voluntary educators as staff, the Café is committed to preserving Vietnam's rich biodiversity and is also behind the popular Hoi An clean-up campaign.
