Various local non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are established in Hanoi of Vietnam making great progress in fighting poverty and creating sustainable development for local communities. These organizations are giving support to disadvantaged people with new tools and hope for the future. NGOs have been instrumental to pave the way for improvements in health, education, human rights, social services, environment, women and children's rights and others. The main objective of these NGOs is to support disadvantaged communities in the country who are living below the poverty line.
Due to limited financial resources, these organizations are facing various constraints to persist their programs. They lack skills and resources to run their programs. They often struggle to raise funds from international donors. They are in need of support for proposal writing, organizational development, administration and community development.
