Child sexual abuse destroys lives. The growth of technology means this is happening to children on a scale never seen before. The impact of this type of abuse means many never speak up.

The review was forensic, but supportive in nature, and led to several practical recommendations which have enabled us to strengthen our approach to the prevention and response to harmful sexual behaviour.

  • "Saigon Children’s Charity had the pleasure to collaborate with The Marie Collins Foundation in a project named ‘Linh and Danh’s Online Adventure’. The project developed and provided children and families in underserved communities with various materials including comic book, cartoon, lesson plans, and parent guidance regarding basic knowledge in cyber safety. Thanks to MCF's expertise and commitment, the project has laid a foundation of proper online conducts and helped at least 50,000 primary students in Vietnam be safer on the Internet."
