Building A
Better Futures For Kids

Together Against Human Trafficking, Creating a Future of Freedom.

ABOUT US

BETTER FUTURES FOR KIDS is a registered charitable organization based in Ontario, Canada, proudly established on February 15, 2019. Operated entirely by dedicated volunteers, we are committed to making a meaningful difference in the lives of children.

OUR MISSION

Our journey began in 2009 with a heartfelt mission to celebrate and preserve

Vietnamese-Canadian culture and heritage. We are dedicated to fostering volunteerism, providing support to underprivileged children, and raising awareness about the critical issue of human trafficking in both Canada and Vietnam. Through these efforts, we aim to inspire compassion, empower communities, and create a meaningful impact across borders.

OUR VISION

A world where every child is free from violence, abuse, and exploitation, empowered with the support and opportunities they need to thrive, receive an education, and build a bright future.

WHO WE ARE

Meet our team

WHAT WE DO

Provide daily necessities for children

Without access to basic necessities like groceries, families can become vulnerable to the deceptive promises of human traffickers, who exploit their immediate need for financial relief.

Provide education for children

Without access to education, children and their families face long-term challenges, remaining trapped in the cycle of poverty with limited opportunities to improve their lives.

Promote Vietnamese culture and heritage among youth

We provide a range of cultural and heritage-inspired services to the community, free of charge. These include art classes, piano lessons, cooking workshops, and more, fostering creativity, connection, and cultural enrichment for all.

AO DAI DAY

Ao Dai Day is a celebration of the pride of Vietnam. This iconic dress has been an integral part of the Vietnamese culture for generations, reflecting the aesthetic and cultural values of the Vietnamese people. It has been inherited and constantly developed by younger generations not only in Vietnam, but all over the world. In Canada, where over 240,000 Vietnamese people reside, the Ao Dai is known, loved, and celebrated by many Canadians.
