Since the Vietnam Book Drive is a voluntary and non-profit project, your help and support, small or big, are vital to its success. Let’s give a hand and help to bring books and knowledge to students in Vietnam.
Donate books
By donating your books, you can give hundreds of students in Vietnam a better access to knowledge. Please be a part of this important impact by simply send us an email at vnbookdrive@veffa.org and we will arrange a pickup of your books.
Donate money
One dollar may not be enough to buy a textbook or ship a book to Vietnam. But collectively, one thousand dollars can ship thousands of books to Vietnam. Any financial contribution, small or large, will help more books to reach students in Vietnam faster.
You may donate to The Vietnam Book Drive Project via Paypal using this Donate button.
Don’t forget to let us know your name so that we can show you our appreciation for your support.

You can help us to spread out the words about our campaign at your school by sending out an email to your department or student groups’ mailing lists. This is as simple as copying the email template posted in each Campaign, making some changes such as your name, filling in the email addresses, and clicking the Send button.
