What We Do
The Global Village Foundation is a non-profit organization based in San Diego, California, and founded in 1999 by author and humanitarian Le Ly Hayslip. Our mission is to uplift the people of rural Vietnam and Southeast Asia through programs in education, healthcare, and cultural preservation, as well as the construction of schools and homes in impoverished regions.
As volunteers working through hands-on engagement at the grassroots level, we provide education to both local and international recipients, encouraging literacy and supporting regional arts and culture.
GVF has a long and fruitful history of partnerships with several international organizations, universities, and student groups. These partnerships have resulted in cultural exchanges and critical assistance to the people of Vietnam, Southeast Asia, and other countries.
Join our mission. Volunteer, Donate, Advocate. Get Started Today.

HEARING AIDS FOR DEAF ORPHANS
At the Village of Hope 40% of the children have serious hearing loss, Some of the children have a loss that can be corrected with excellent quality hearing aids. The aids help communication and as a result make a substantial difference for the child's learning, emotional status, and comprehension.
We wish to provide hearing aids t all the qualified children to ensure they thrive in their personal development.
BIKES and MOTORBIKES TO REACH THEIR JOBS
Every day more than half the children and young adults need bicycles and motorbikes to make the long trek to their job or school. These tools are affordable transportation and are life changing. Orphaned children often lack the means to get a bike and even with a job after high school may not be able to afford a motorbike.
