Catalyst Foundation

our mission

Founded in 1999, and today, using a holistic community development approach, our mission is to support communities to fight human trafficking.

We coordinate rewarding and sustainable volunteer experiences with the Vietnam Aid Expedition, to work hands on with our community members in rural Vietnam.

Catalyst Foundation also organizes and leads the Vietnam Cultural Hope Tour to provide diverse and beautiful experiences for those seeking family bonding, rejuvenation, individual or group travel in Vietnam

Our founder, Caroline Nguyen Ticarro is a prominent figure in the non-profit sector. Caroline’s passion and work is tireless. She travels often to Vietnam to direct the mission and vision of Catalyst Foundation.

Our mission is to support communities in rural Vietnam to prevent human trafficking.

For the safety, dignity and well-being of our community, we do not allow members of the public to randomly “visit” our community; however, we will be happy to arrange a meeting or phone call with you and our Founder and Executive Director to discuss our programs and work. Our “project sites” are the homes and schools of those we serve, not tourist attractions.
