Relentless effort for a safer and more humane community
Starting as a not-for-profit project in 2014, SSVN ran entirely on the voluntary contributions of the co-founders. Since 2018, SSVN transformed itself into a social enterprise to help more Vietnamese acquire first aid education via fund-raising from commercial activities.
Through many ups and downs, especially with the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, SSVN has been spreading the human spirit of first aid thanks to the support and trust from our clients and the community.
Overall impact
Knowledge of first aid not only helps the learners themselves and the victims in emergencies, but also helps:
- – Reduce pain, loss, and medical care costs for victims and their families
- – Reduce the burden on health staff and the health system, also the state’s budget
- – Maintaining labor, as well as helping businesses and organisations improve productivity.
A pioneer in digital transformation
Traditional education remains the most effective, however the most expensive. Meanwhile, hundreds of Vietnamese are dying or suffering unneccesary injuries because bystanders don’t have the opportunities to acquire first aid education and skills.
SSVN is a pioneer in the digital transforation of first aid education, by increasing the accessibility to help Vietnamese anywhere in the country allowing access to information easily, immediately, and free-of-charge via many channels such as: televisions, Youtube, online learning, mobile app etc
