ABOUT US
|
The Foundation for Microprojects in Vietnam (FMV) was established in 2003 by Christopher J. Carpenter, a former Representative in Vietnam of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, to provide grass-roots assistance to the poorest villages of the country as a contribution towards the National Hunger Eradication and Poverty Alleviation Programme. We are a Swiss based non-profit, non-governmental organization (NGO) funded by private donations.
