Vietnam
Though the conditions of orphans and street children is constantly improving, thanks to the huge support of international NGOs (which cover 60% of services provided to children in need*), there are still more than 16,000* children living on the streets of Vietnam.
As a consequence of poverty, more than 120,000** children in Vietnam have no access to primary education.
