About Program

The social enterprise ” Youth Employment and Society Development” was established by the young Vietnamese women group working in 2 main areas: Non-formal education and Sustainable tourism to support the disadvantaged youth and local people. We provide variety of volunteer project types.
The 'Summer trip' will be held in Ha Giang province.
Ha Giang, a province in northeast Vietnam, invites you to see the most beautiful landscapes and cultural treasures the country has to offer. Because of the political situation and relations with China, it is a place that seems to have been left out of Vietnam’s economic development, and although the attendance of visitors is gradually increasing in this magical region, Ha Giang is still untouched by mass tourism, which makes it very special. Almost 90 % of the population in this area is made up of ethnic minorities so you will get the chance to learn about their way of living and the well-preserved charm of Vietnam’s culture.

Yes, I recommend this program

Hanoi to Ha Giang

YESD gave us the secret advise to go to Ha Giang. The most beautiful Reagion in North Vietnam. YESD welcomed us in there office and checked all our wishes to the trip and supportet us the best. We wanted to suppourt the local comminity and we wanted to be two traveler and not just somebody to bring just money. and in ha giang that happend. The local poeple welcomed us so nice an warmly. we met a lot of local poeple and got really insight to vietnam. the road was not easy to drive but our drivers were really safty drivers. on happy road you really feel the happiness coming in your heard. it is a beautiful landschape in the montains and the laugh of the poeple is the most beautiful i have ever seen.
english is not so common in this area, but everybody is helping and i felt safe.
So please go with yesd, because they care.

What would you improve about this program?
i thing the english of the guides has to be better. And they should have a look, that the guides telling more details of the locals and life. this makes a trip more interessting. I think they schould contact with others to help the region more.
