REACH Institute

REACH is formerly known as “Livelihood Advancement Business Schools” (LABS) – a project implemented by Plan International in Vietnam since 2004. In 2008, REACH started operating independently as a nonprofit organization in the field of vocational training and job placement for disadvantaged youth in Vietnam.

OUR BENEFICIARIES 

REACH works with the youth aged between 16 – 30, who lack access to formal education due to physical and social barriers such as disabilities, poverty, or difficult family circumstances.

REACH students include street and migrant youth, school dropouts, disadvantaged youth from ethnic minorities, and members of the LGBT community.

REACH engages with youth from marginalized groups such as trafficking survivors, and people with disabilities.
