Glocal Ventures, Inc. (GVI) is a U.S. based organization that is primarily dedicated to socio-economic development in Vietnam. GVI engages in the development process by promoting community-to-community relationships between the U.S. and Vietnam.

Glocal Ventures focuses its overseas efforts on serving the people of Vietnam. Primarily, we continue to touch lives through our work with hospitals, universities, orphanages, warm shelters and a multitude of other humanitarian pursuits. Once at odds, we now seek to build unity and work toward a promising future.

Glocal Ventures mobilizes communities in the U.S. to partner long-term with communities in Vietnam to see dreams realized and communities transformed. We serve alongside a community to help people work together in interdependency, taking charge of their situations and moving towards a more empowered and satisfying life as individuals and community.

GVI believes that the establishment of people-to-people diplomacy between our two countries is vital to understanding and forming effective partnerships that produce results. The Ministry of Planning and Investment in Vietnam has developed a Five-Year Socio-Economic Development Plan for 2006 – 2010. Glocal Ventures’ projects are designed and implemented in support of Vietnam’s five-year development plan.
