Birthland & Family Tour

Catalyst Foundation’s “Birthland Cultural Tour” is a travel program designed for families with children adopted from Vietnam. It was the natural extension and development of the Catalyst Foundation Vietnam Culture Camp. 


It is an excellent opportunity for the entire family to appreciate Vietnam and its culture. Our itineraries balance cultural exploration, family bonding, and opportunities for your child to share and reconnect with their roots. 


Join other adoptive families in this poignant experience that strengthens family bonds and brings your child's birth country to life, leaving a lasting impact on your family's story.

Personalized individual family tours are also available upon request, please contact us.

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.
