  Better Life Vietnam (BLV) is an NGO working to improve education conditions for underprivileged children and youth. We have recently launched an Online English Communication Program. Teaching and learning English are not efficient at public schools. Students who come from low-income families in the city and in rural areas have an especially hard time with learning and practicing English. Currently, English is on track to be the most spoken second language in Vietnam, however, compared to their city counterparts, these students are at a disadvantage and do not have the chance to study at English centers with native teachers. Our goal is to raise the level of English proficiency in underprivileged students who live in rural areas, mountainous areas, areas outside of the city center, and industrial areas. BLV will partner with Public schools and organizations to bring foreign volunteers to provide the opportunity for these children to learn, practice, and confidently speak English. We hope to further enrich the students’ knowledge of English and give them the opportunity to be more informed of the happenings of the modern world.
