Vietnam has one of the fastest growing economies in the world. Yet in many communes, not every household has a hygienic latrine. Defecating in the backyard or in the nearby river is obviously not convenient or safe in bad weather conditions, it is also a public health risk and a threat to the environment. Women are at the forefront of the issues raised by these practices, for it is them who care for the sick in a traditional village household. They are also part of the solution. This film shows how a clean latrine with a disability ramp can be a life changer.  Camera & Edit : Christopher Dinh Sound: Arnaud Soulier A Morgan Ommer film

High-rise buildings containing shopping malls, offices and homes are being built at incredible speed. millions of motorbikes and cars hit the road everyday. Yet not everyone has made it out of poverty yet, because kids wear uniform at school, it may not be evident to see the differences. https://www.saigonchildren.com
