The Foundation for Microprojects in Vietnam is a non-profit, non-governmental organization (NGO) based in Switzerland and funded by the private donations of its founder and other individual supporters.

FMV is seeking funds to finance microprojects targeting ethnic minorities in the Central Highlands provinces of Dak Nong and Kontum. FMV is seeking US$250,000 to finance 6 projects in 2010-11.

Following missions to the area in December 2009 and May 2010, FMV approved the following projects in Dak Nong and Kontum Provinces to be carried out in 2010-2011. Each of these projects were individually assessed by FMV during a mission to the two provinces and detailed project proposals have been prepared by the local authorities.

The following photos were taken at the sites of the proposed new projects prior to their being implemented.

These photos are of, from left to right, the old primary school which needs to be replaced, the site of a proposed new irrigation dam and canal to increase production in the surrounding rice fields, a drinking water system to replace the current source of water supplies which are close to a pig sty, and the site of a proposed new bridge so that students going to school do not have to wade through the water, especially during the rainy season.

The following is a summary of projects to be carried out in 2010-11.
