Disadvantaged young women facing barriers to the outside world
Disadvantaged and at-risk women in Vietnam, especially from ethnic minorities and impoverished highland areas, face significant barriers to the outside world, keeping them marginalized and trapped in a cycle of uneducation, illegal migration, human trafficking, homelessness, early-marriage, and domestic violence.
This issue highlights the urgent need to support these young women for a better future where their potentials are nutured and recognized.
KOTO provides disadvantaged and ethnic women in Vietnam an opportunity to break free from the cycle of struggle and empowers them to follow their dreams through the Her Turn program; as we believe everyone deserve a seat at the table!
Let's ride together to make a difference

About the Dream Ride
Growing from 30 riders in 2001 to over 200 riders in 2019, the KOTO Dream Ride has raised over US$250,000 since its inception.
The Dream Ride this year of KOTO will be the most exciting journey, with great collaboration with RMIT. The ride will take cyclists through the most beautiful countryside, lakes, pagodas, and flower fields. The event is set to raise 1.2B VND (US$50,000) to empower 20 HER TURN trainees, who are disadvantaged and ethnic women by providing hospitality and entrepreneurship skills, employment, and long-term career development opportunities.
Join us to create memorable impact not only with their personal development, but also create a ripple effect throughout the community that will go on for years!

Meet Cynthia
Since moving to Hanoi in 2008, Cynthia has developed a deep affection for Vietnam’s cultural traditions, history, and community. She feels especially grateful for the support she’s received from the local people, which has been a key reason for her staying all these years. For her, the Dream Ride is a meaningful way to give back.
Cynthia has been part of the ride for many years, starting from its early days, helping to raise significant funds and spread awareness within the communities.
Meet Huong Dang
The Transformative Power of Education and Opportunity
Born into a farming family in northwest Vietnam and raised by a single mother, Huong, like many children in her village, faced significant barriers to accessing education due to extreme poverty. Despite her love for learning, she was forced to leave school at 13, cutting short her dreams of becoming a teacher.
As a young teenager, Huong moved to the city to work as a live-in babysitter, earning a meager income to support her family. At 17, when societal expectations dictated that she return to her village to get married and tend to the farm, she made a bold decision to forge her own path.
