Blue Dragon's mission is to provide exceptional care to Vietnamese children and families in crisis while creating long-term change for a better world. Blue Dragon works according to the following values: - Respect, not pity: The children we work with are treated with at least the same respect that we would treat our own sons and daughters, brothers and sisters. - Development, not charity: Our work is to help children develop fully as they grow, through providing a broad range of experiences and opportunities. Rather than simply provide a handout, we provide a hand up for those who choose to better their circumstances and themselves. - Empowerment, not dependency: Our role is to provide opportunities for children to pursue as individuals, rather than to force our views or values on to the children. - Collaboration, not control: Our staff work alongside the children and their families, so that the beneficiaries are involved in all stages of our programs, rather than simply being recipients of charity. - Massive interventions, not quick-fix solutions: We tackle the problem of poverty from every angle, rather than focusing on one obvious cause or effect. Our interventions may take years, as we persist until we are successful.

Established in 2004, Blue Dragon Children's Foundation protects and empowers children and adults who are victims or at-risk of trafficking. We rescue those who are homeless or have been trafficked for sexual and labour exploitation, providing them with immediate safety and comprehensive after-care support. Our holistic approach addresses the unique needs of each individual, offering services such as counselling, shelter, education, vocational training, employment opportunities, and everything else they need to live their lives and thrive. Beyond rescue and care, Blue Dragon collaborates with impoverished and at-risk communities to strengthen their resilience against trafficking and exploitation. By combining direct intervention with long-term prevention programs, we aim to reduce risks, protect vulnerable groups and create safer environments for children and families. Additionally, we draw on our experiences to advocate for systemic change, working toward improved policies and laws that protect children and youth across Vietnam. In 2024, we achieved significant milestones, expanding our operations to three new locations: Ho Chi Minh City, Nghe An province in central Vietnam, and Bac Lieu province in the Mekong Delta. With the continued support of our global community, we are reaching more children and families in need than ever, helping them overcome crises and build brighter futures.
