YESD’S COMMUNITY FUND

YESD commits to use 10% of all profits from our tours to go towards a community fund. This money allows them to make infrastructure improvements and provide other important resources to those in need. We aim to minimise the negative impacts of tourism on the environment and the local community while contributing positively to local economies. We don’t just talk responsible tourism; we act! We give local people employment, income, and learning opportunities so they are directly involved in your tourism experience. Our guides and hosts will give you a special insight into the culture and life in Vietnam. With this fund, we will pay back the community where we are supporting and using their services now at the end of the year.

Livelihood Fund: Empowering Families Through Sustainable Farming

For many families in rural Vietnam, agriculture is the backbone of their livelihood. Through the Livelihood Fund, we have provided struggling households with essential resources such as buffaloes and cows. These animals are not just farm assets; they represent stability, financial independence, and an opportunity for families to secure a better future.

Education Fund: Helping Students Chase Their Dreams

Education is one of the most powerful tools for breaking the cycle of poverty. Our Education Fund supports disadvantaged students in pursuing higher education, covering essential supplies. Thanks to the generosity of travelers like you, two determined students from low-income families are now completing their university degrees—an opportunity that would have otherwise been out of reach.

Community Development Fund: Building a Stronger Future

Infrastructure plays a crucial role in community well-being. That’s why a significant portion of our Community Fund goes towards building schools, classrooms, and bridges in rural villages. These projects improve access to education, healthcare, and economic opportunities, ensuring a sustainable future for local residents.

So booking tours with YESD Responsible Travel means you are supporting those disadvantaged communities in reaching a better life and better living standards. All are geared toward sustainable development. YESD will announce how much the community fund gets annually through our social media. We hope that our business will get a good result in order to contribute more back into all of the disadvantaged communities and reach YESD’s missions.
