Vietnam guest house
Our Vision for HOPE House
We are creating a space where origins can be explored, stories can be shared, and every journey is honored. This is a haven for hearts and minds to connect, creating a true home away from home in Vietnam.
For many adoptees, visiting Vietnam is a deeply personal journey. This guest house will provide a supportive space where individuals can reflect and connect with others who share similar experiences. Together, we can build a community that embraces and uplifts one another.
Funding Needs
To bring this vision to life, we need your support. Here’s how your donation will be used:
- Rent & Accommodations: We've secured a townhouse that can comfortably host up to 10 guests. With enough funds, we can offer Adoptees a stay at little to no cost.
- Renovations & Furnishing: Your contribution will help fund essential repairs, updates, and furnishings, creating a welcoming and comfortable environment.
- Operating Expenses: Donations will also cover utilities, maintenance, and other ongoing costs to keep the space running smoothly.

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.
