Compassion Books began operating in 2016 as an initiative to promote the development of reading culture and literacy. Two years later, the Social Enterprise – Compassion Books Co., Ltd. was officially established (October 19/ 2018), becoming one of the leading organizations in promoting reading culture, literacy and lifelong learning in Vietnam. Over the years, we have founded and replicated two community learning models named Compassion Books and The House of Wisdom.
With Compassion Books, we have established a network of 17,531 bookcases/libraries in more than 3000 schools and residential communities (in houses, community cultural houses, Catholic churches, Buddhist temples, shelters, businesses, hospitals, prisons, etc.), providing quality reading opportunities for over 2 million readers in 60 out of 63 provinces of Vietnam and a number of schools in Laos.
As for The House of Wisdom, there are 108 lifelong learning spaces in 12 provinces of Vietnam and 04 other countries around the world (Malaysia, Australia, New Zealand and Japan), helping more than 10,000 members, especially children and locals in poor rural areas to have the opportunity for quality and free education from leading experts and lecturers in Vietnam and internationally.
The Board of Directors consists of 9 members, working in various fields ranging from education, finance and investment to construction and sustainable development… Regarding academic degrees, there are 2 members who hold doctorates, 5 who hold masters along with 1 engineer and 1 bachelor. All of us have great aspirations to promote reading culture, self-study and lifelong learning in the community. With a diverse background of industries and activity fields (predominantly in education), as well as the depth of knowledge and experience, the Board of Directors possesses a large vision and multi-dimensional perspectives in strategic planning and implementing initiatives. Because of that, not only are breakthrough ideas and innovative solutions created but they become feasible. The results brought on are recognized and reputed not only towards organizations, businesses and individual donors, but also policy makers, ministries and branches of the State.
In addition, our organization also possesses a strong force of highly specialized advisors who are dedicated to education and the sustainable development of a global community of compassionate and intelligent citizens.
