YESD is a social enterprise committed to community development. They are working to ignite lights of children and young people in the North of Vietnam by helping them widen their eyes and to gain access to a proper education as well as career opportunities.
Their mission is to deal with unemployment rate amongst youth. Due to the Universities commonly teaching theory with little practical application, Vietnamese youth are faced with many obstacles in finding a suitable job after graduating. They want to provide practical skills in English and tourism for those graduates so that they can have enough skills to better approach career opportunities.
