OUR MISSION

NO GIRL LEFT BEHIND

VFSA aims to contribute to enhancing the capacity, confidence, and proactive spirit of Vietnamese female students in their academic pursuits, social life, and overall process of personal development.

Through educational, networking, and development-support activities, VFSA seeks to create opportunities for female students to be heard, to share, and to express their perspectives; while fostering independent thinking, social responsibility, and a spirit of youth leadership.
