Chi Nguyen is a Real Estate Compliance Program Manager at Google and Founder of BeCause For Hope, a grassroot non-profit organization that focuses on promoting intellectual empowerment for low-income and minority students in Vietnam.
“I was born and raised in Vietnam and always wanted to give back to my motherland. The idea of volunteer mission came in 2009, when my sister and I decided to bring back donated clothes for orphans in Vietnam. The trip really opened our eyes and made us realize we could do a lot more to help less fortunate people in our homeland. $1 could go really far in Vietnam.
Fast forward 10 years later, my non-profit has completed nearly 100 projects ranging from providing libraries, playgrounds, and back-to-school supplies, to loaning bicycles and setting up computer labs. These projects have directly benefited over 25,000 students throughout different, remote regions of Vietnam.”
