Catalyst for Change

Catalyst for Change (C4C) is a Vietnam-based social enterprise that empowers marginalized women and children through education, skills training, and community support. Our work focuses on three core programs:

The Empowerment Plan: Supporting single mothers with healing, skills development, and economic opportunities through sub-initiatives like HerAcademy, HerKitchen, and HerCraft.

Teach for Change: Bridging educational gaps by placing international volunteers in rural schools, particularly those led by women.

Community Engagement: Creating inclusive platforms for cultural exchange, storytelling, and advocacy to foster resilience and reduce stigma.


  • Viet Nam

Catalyst for Change (C4C) runs three connected programs empowering marginalized women and youth in Vietnam through education, skills, and community engagement.

The Empowerment Plan supports single mothers with life skills, healing, and income generation through HerAcademy, HerKitchen, and HerCraft.

Teach for Change places international volunteers in rural, women-led language centers to promote English learning and cultural exchange.

Community Engagement Program (CEP) offers short-term volunteer roles that link both programs through university teaching, events like Hope Express and Global Connect, and HerSpace workshops focused on storytelling, food, and crafts.
