Empower Abused and Trafficked Vietnamese Women

Hagar Vietnam has provided healing and recovery to survivors of trafficking and abuse.  Here's a snapshot of what we've accomplished in two years:

• 112 women have received holistic services (Individual Care, Client Training, Career Development, and Capacity Building programs).

• 62 trainings have been conducted for Hagar Vietnam clients aimed at personal development, which focuses on growing each clients’ soft-skills and hard skills, as well as providing them with reflection and empowerment tools for personal recovery. 

• Approximately 50% of Hagar Vietnam clients are already employed and living self-sufficiently, while others remain in Hagar’s long-term care and progress towards economic and personal independence.  

However, Hagar Vietnam’s successes are not merely measured in statistics and numbers.  The long-term model of care was developed so that the needs of each, individual person are considered, as many of Hagar Vietnam’s most successful women are the very individuals that have transcended the darkest and most traumatic of situations. 

Thank you for your generosity and ongoing commitment to these women.

This week Hagar held an Alumni Follow-Up Training to provide support to women that have been reintegrated into the Hanoi Community.  These women, who had been trafficked and abused, are now working full-time and supporting their children independently. Some of Hagar Vietnam's current clients also participated.

It was a special time for these women to reconnect with one another, share their successes and challenges personally and professionally, and have fun together. As you'll see from the pictures, they participated in group discussions, creative exercises, and reflected.

The 14 women that participated on Wednesday, July 3rd, said they would love to come back more often.  Now, Hagar will be offering this training twice a month.

April has been an exciting month for Hagar Vietnam and Joma Bakery Café, Hagar’s enterprise partner.  Twelve Hagar clients are excelling at their positions, after completing Hagar’s job readiness and vocational training.  To celebrate the progress they’ve made, Joma Bakery Café increased their salaries and improved their benefits package.

Yen joined the employees and Hagar clients at Joma Bakery Café.  This month, she graduated from Hoa Sua’s vocational training with baking and hospitality skills.   She said:

                                  “I feel happy and confident with my new position.”
