Blue Dragon Children’s Foundation works with children and young people in crisis all around Vietnam.

Every day we balance being proactive on issues with being responsive to calls for help. The result is an organisation which remains highly agile and develops organically to help those who need us most.

During this year, Blue Dragon has increasingly focused on assisting children and communities facing the highly complex issues of human trafficking and sexual abuse. This has meant an increased need for specialised services, particularly psychological and legal, and the provision of emergency accommodation and care facilities.

I am pleased to present this annual report on our important and ever-evolving work, none of which would be possible without the support of our friends and partners around the globe.

Sincerely,

Michael Brosowski

Annual Report 2016-2017 | 32 | Blue Dragon Children’s Foundation

In October 2002, Michael Brosowski, an Australian teacher, arrived in Vietnam to teach at a university. Within two months, Michael found himself teaching English to a group of shoeshine boys. More and more children sought his help and towards the end of 2003, Michael and Pham Sy Chung established their own organisation.

Within two years, Blue Dragon opened a combined drop-in centre and office. The Drop-in Centre remains one of the only safe spaces for street children in Hanoi. Street children, children with

disabilities and children from

very poor backgrounds can access teachers and computers, social workers, lawyers, social activities and nutritious food. From 10 shoeshine boys in 2002, Blue Dragon now directly supports over 1,200 children. Blue Dragon’s anti-trafficking work started in 2005, when Michael and a law student volunteering with us rescued a 13 year old boy trafficked from Hue to work on the streets of Ho Chi Minh City. Up to 30 June 2017, we have rescued 396 children from forced labour, the youngest being just 11 years old. In 2007, Blue Dragon rescued three girls trafficked from Vietnam to China for forced marriage and commercial sex work. This marked the beginning of our fight against sex trafficking that continues to this date. As of 30 June 2017, Blue Dragon has rescued 322 girls and young women from sex trafficking.

Blue Dragon provides exceptional care to

Vietnamese children and families in crisis while

creating long-term change for a better world.

Our Mission

Our PhilosophyRespect, not pity The children we work with are treated with at least the same respect that we would treat

our own sons and daughters, brothers and sisters.

Development, not just charity We work to help children develop fully as they grow, through providing a broad range of experiences and opportunities. Rather than simply provide a handout, we provide a hand-up

for those who choose to better their circumstances and

themselves.

Empowerment, not dependency Our role is to provide opportunities for children to pursue as individuals rather than to force our views

or values on the children.

Collaboration, not control

Our staff work alongside the

children and their families,

so that the beneficiaries are involved

in all stages of our work, rather

than simply being recipients of charity.

Our History

Massive interventions,

not quick-fix solutions

We tackle the problem of poverty from every angle rather than focusing on one obvious cause or effect. Our interventions may take years, as we persist until we are successful.

BEYONDTHE NUMBERS

Blue Dragon’s work extends far beyond the figures and statistics we collect. At Blue Dragon, we aspire to transform lives, and the changes are often not fully reflected by mere

numbers. Below are three stories of children and young people who have strived to build a better life.

Tuan never knew his father. He often spent hours or even the entire night at Internet cafes playing games to escape from his difficulties. Due to Tuan’s low self-esteem and vulnerability, he became the perfect victim for paedophiles to prey on. It was not long before Tuan was trapped in the cycle of being sexually abused for money to survive. Blue Dragon provided him with emergency care and support for months before he gathered enough courage to break away from his abusers to stay in a Blue Dragon shelter. Eventually, he adopted a positive outlook on life and came to love himself more. Through youth engagement activities at Blue Dragon, Tuan discovered he loved to cook. He decided to attend a vocational training course to transform his interest into practical skills to build a better future. As a result of Blue Dragon’s support and the opportunity to engage in training for a career, Tuan has grown in confidence and now believes in a brighter future. This is a monumental change and Blue Dragon is proud of how hard Tuan has worked to change his life.

Lan grew up in a family of six in an impoverished area of Hanoi. Blue Dragon met her and her brother four years ago and has been supporting them since. Lan has consistently gone to school and also participated in various Blue Dragon’s youth engagement activities. She found her passion in hip-hop and has trained hard to be a confident and capable hip-hop dancer. She even performed in public many times. In 2016, Lan was selected

to undertake leadership training and is now even more active in mentoring new children joining the Blue Dragon dance crew. Recently, she expressed her desire to become a social worker to help other disadvantaged children. Blue Dragon is very pleased that Lan is now able to think about her future career and will continue to assist Lan in building a better life for herself.

After grade 9, Phi had no plan to enter high school. Blue Dragon encouraged him to stay in school and covered his education expenses. Phi studied hard, understanding that in the long term, education is the key to building a better life for his family and himself. After high school, he passed the highly competitive university entrance exam and qualified for Blue Dragon’s Tertiary Scholarship Program. Phi is in his second year, studying Hospitality Management. Outside the classroom, he is working at a restaurant to support his mother and grandmother. Studying and working means being extremely busy, but Phi is determined to graduate and find a job in the hospitality industry to provide for his family. Blue Dragon will continue to guide and help him achieve his dreams.

Tuan, Lan and Phi are among thousands of disadvantaged children and young people who have been assisted to build a better future. Blue Dragon will do whatever it takes to help them succeed.

STEPAHEAD

Who we serve

Step Ahead operates in Hanoi, serving over 350 highly disadvantaged children and teenagers. Most are street kids or children living with families affected by poverty, drugs, disability, crime or poor health.

How we work

Step Ahead uses a case management model to assist highly disadvantaged children. The core of this model is an Individual Assistance Plan (IAP) created through a process of negotiation between the child, the child’s family or caregivers (if any) and the social workers. The child receives support through counselling, the provision of accommodation, nutrition, material support, school fee relief, and much more. We do whatever it takes so children can escape from crisis and grow into confident adults.

STAY IN SCHOOL

Location: Thuan Thanh & Yen Phong Districts (Bac Ninh Province)

Keeping impoverished rural children in the formal education system

Who we serve

Stay in School provides education support to disadvantaged children in Yen Phong and Thuan Thanh districts of Vietnam’s northern Bac Ninh province. The program provides targeted support for students in grades 6-12 from financially disadvantaged families, particularly orphans, young people with disabilities and families affected by HIV/AIDS.

How we work

Stay in School keeps vulnerable rural children in school by providing school fee relief and social work support to them and their families where necessary. Every child in Stay in School receives assistance to enrol in, or continue at, school. The program provides all essential school equipment – school bags, textbooks, note books, stationery, and school uniforms – and pays mandatory school fees and insurance.

Apart from direct school support, Stay in School provides encouragement to the children and their families through activities, events and additional support, including:

• An opening ceremony to celebrate the start of the school year (August)

• A Tet (Lunar New Year) celebration (February)• A ceremony to mark the end of the school year (May/June)• Bicycles for children who live far from school• Learning facilities, such as desks and lamps, for families and schools• Workshops for students on topics such as human trafficking and

drug use• For high school graduates, Stay in School offers counselling and if

they wish to pursue tertiary education, they are able to acces Blue Dragon’s Tertiary Scholarship Program.

Stay in School in 2016-2017

• Provided direct support to 300 students from Grades 6 to 12 across 14 schools

• Enabled 75 secondary school students to graduate from Grade 9, and 50 high school students to graduate from Grade 12


How we work

Safe and Sound (Hue) works with communities and families who have been targeted by child traffickers. The program staff co-operate with the local government and police to rescue trafficked children and bring them home. The children are then supported to live with their families and return to (or begin) school.

The program aims to build a resilient community that is sustainably resistant to human trafficking. Program staff work with families to educate them on the realities of trafficking, with teachers to train them on identifying at-risk students, and with government officials to advise them on anti-trafficking policies. Safe and Sound also provides material assistance to families in need.

Safe and Sound (Hue) in 2016-2017

• Provided education support for 400 children• Assisted 73 children with careers information• Established Early Warning Systems at 13 schools for 473

teachers to identify students at risk of being trafficked or students already trafficked

SAFE AND SOUND(HUE)

Location: Phu Vang, Phu Loc, Nam Dong Districts (Thua Thien-Hue Province)

Rescuing trafficked children and protecting communities in central Vietnam

Who we serve

Safe and Sound (Hue) is Blue Dragon’s child trafficking prevention program for children in Hue province. The three districts we work in are very poor areas of the province where the main source of income is fishing, which is highly dependent on seasons and climatic conditions. These districts are also vulnerable to natural disasters such as typhoons and are affected by flooding almost every wet season. Many children, as well as their parents, are unschooled and illiterate. As a result, these children are particularly vulnerable to trafficking for labour exploitation.


SAFE AND SOUND(DIEN BIEN)

Who we serve

Safe and Sound works in Muong Ang and Tuan Giao districts of Dien Bien province, home to largely ethnic minority communities including the Hmong, Thai and Khmu groups. People here are highly vulnerable to human trafficking due to geographical remoteness, poverty and their ethnic minority status.

How we work

Safe and Sound (Dien Bien) was established in 2013 to protect and support children and young people in Dien Bien province at high risk of being trafficked for labour exploitation and the sex trade.

The program actively finds and rescues children and young people who have been trafficked, and brings them home. Ongoing support is then provided, including school fee relief, youth and community development activities, a comprehensive range of services for impoverished children, and training for police and government officials.

We aim to assist highly vulnerable communities to be sustainably resilient to trafficking and exploitation, through improving access to education and other government services and upgrading basic infrastructure such as clean water facilities. Blue Dragon is working closely with parents, teachers, ethnic minority leaders and local government to promote child rights, trafficking prevention, and to create strong communities that can protect their children.

Location: Tuan Giao and Muong Ang Districts (Dien Bien Province)

Delivering reintegration care and services to survivors of human traffickingPROJECT X

Who we serve

Project X serves girls and young women who have been trafficked and have escaped or been rescued. Nearly all of them were sold into China for forced marriages and commercial sexual exploitation. Most girls are aged between 14-18, while some are in their 20s and above. The vast majority of survivors was rescued by Blue Dragon, while others are referred by the police or other agencies.

How we work

Project X provides social work and psychological support to newly returned survivors of sex trafficking, including intensive psychological counselling, meals, safe accommodation, and health checks. When they are ready, survivors are assisted to return home to their families, or supported to stay in Hanoi in order to access education and training opportunities. Project X provides survivors with the long-term psychological, emotional and financial support they need, encouraging their return to education and financial independence. Therapy features heavily in the program, as most survivors have suffered severe trauma and require regular psychological assistance to aid recovery.

Project X in 2016-2017

• Provided emergency accommodation for 110 survivors after their rescue

• Provided long-term safe accommodation for 30 survivors• Assisted 41 survivors to access healthcare• Supported 6 new survivors to return to mainstream

education and 5 new survivors to undertake vocational training

• Provided group psychological therapy for an average of 18 survivors per month

• Supported 5 survivors with tertiary scholarships to attend university and colleges courses



Offering legal advocacy for children in conflict with the law, and rescuing for people held in slavery

LEGALADVOCACY

Who we serve

Blue Dragon’s Legal Advocacy Department offers advice and representation to any Vietnamese child or young person in crisis who needs help. While the team is based in Hanoi, our advocacy work is delivered throughout Vietnam. The Legal team also rescues children and adults who have been trafficked and are trapped in slavery.

How we work

Legal Advocacy is a service that operates across all Blue Dragon programs, providing legal advice and representation for children, families, staff and management. The department also works with Vietnamese police, border guards and local officials to improve their skills to fight human trafficking.

Legal Advocacy in 2016-2017

• Rescued 126 victims of human trafficking in 60 rescue missions and assisted another 10 victims rescued by Vietnamese authorities

TERTIARY SCHOLARSHIPPROGRAM

Who we serve

Blue Dragon’s Tertiary Scholarship Program serves young adults who are highly disadvantaged and can demonstrate a commitment to further study. Most are rural students who would otherwise not be able to afford higher education.

How we work

The program supports the tuition fees and living expenses for the tertiary students. Half is given as a grant and the other half is a loan that students are required to pay back in instalments after graduation. During the scholarship period, a Blue Dragon staff member provides mentoring and assists students to

find and apply for part-time work and/or internships. Career preparation workshops are also held, and students are given information to assist them to apply for full-time employment after graduation.

Tertiary Scholarship Program in 2016-2017

• Supported a total of 81 students to pursue tertiary education

• Supported 27 students to graduate from university and colleges throughout Vietnam

Special Project

SUNFLOWERHOUSE

Who we serve

This project serves human trafficking victims from central Vietnam and their communities. After being rescued and repatriated, many survivors find it challenging to reintegrate into their local communities and require transitional accommodation.

How we work

Blue Dragon oversaw the construction of the Sunflower House reintegration centre in Nghe An province. The centre will provide basic services to trafficking survivors such as accommodation, nutrition and social work support to aid reintegration. The construction of the centre is scheduled to be completed in July 2017. In addition, we have provided in-depth training on migrant labour and trafficking to the police, border authorities and Department of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs (DoLISA) staff in the province.

Individuals VolunteersWe have thousands of friends and supporters all around the world who fundraise for us, make personal donations even when times are lean, and who help us spread the word about the plight of disadvantaged children in Vietnam. Many are old friends who continue to support Blue Dragon kids year after year. We also appreciate the visitors and volunteers to Blue Dragon who stay connected. Some donations are small, some are substantial – and all are equally important and appreciated.

Blue Dragon is grateful to all volunteers who support the delivery of our programs. Dedicated volunteers have given their time and shared their expertise with the children of Blue Dragon. They teach, encourage and motivate them. We are also fortunate to have volunteers who provide specialist input to staff, sharing skills on leadership, project planning and public presentations. The work of Blue Dragon is much enriched because of their input.
