Viet Dreams is a 501(c)(3) charity non-profit organization founded by musicians, artists, and music enthusiasts who all share a common goal - to provide disadvantaged children in Vietnam and United States with better educational opportunities and a more healthy, sustainable way of living.

Some of our projects include donating bicycles and helmets, granting scholarships, medical supplies, workshops and most recently, providing access to clean drinking water , which will reduce water-borne illness among children. Our organization also collaborates with local networks and other non-profit organizations such as Hope for Tomorrow, ICAN, Friends of Vinh Son, Fund for Vietnam, Children of Vietnam and Because Vietnam in order to successfully create an environment where every child is safe, self-sufficient, and able to pursue their education.

In response to the near-complete devastation of the Yezidi people by ISIS in 2014, Free Yezidi Foundation has been providing spaces for Yezidi refugees — mostly women and children — to get psychological care and develop skills needed to re-enter society. To kick off 2019, a $100k match grant was offered by Semnani Family Foundation (together with 5th Element Group and Solver). Thanks to people like you, we unlocked 100% of the match grant by March 31, 2019! This spring, we're working to continue the momentum by raising additional support for these women and girls who have been left so vulnerable. Please join with us!
