MEET OUR FOUNDER
When Hong Tang founded Coins for Change Vietnam in 2015, she was driven by personal experiences of discrimination and societal stigma. As a woman educated in tourism and cultural studies, she faced challenges integrating into the workforce, where gender bias often overshadowed her qualifications. These obstacles were exacerbated when she became a single mother, encountering increased marginalization within Vietnamese society.
​
Fully aware of the limited support available to women in similar situations and inspired by the stories of other single mothers, she recognized the need for change.
​
Driven by her own experiences and a desire to make a difference, Hong established Coins For Change Vietnam as a platform for positive social change, where women could thrive and contribute to the development of their country.​
An organization that now proudly carries the name:
​CATALYST FOR CHANGE
"Although it can be stressful and difficult at times, my two daughters inspire me to keep striving towards the organization’s vision. I'm very thankful for the people and volunteers I have met over the last couple of years. And I can’t wait to meet the volunteers who will support the organization and make a positive impact in crafting a more equal future!"
