One Body Village is a 501(c)(3) organization founded in 1999 by Father Martino Nguyen to rescue and restore childhoods to sexually abused and exploited children in Southeast Asia.
Our vision is a world free from abuse and exploitation of all forms for every child. Our mission is a) to improve the lives of high risk and sexually exploited children by giving them shelter, education, medical care, psychological counseling and vocational training and b) to prevent child sexual exploitation by educating and empowering communities to be catalysts for change.
We currently operate in Vietnam, Cambodia, and other undisclosed regions of Southeast Asia.

What we do
Rescue
We rescue and provide crisis intervention to high-risk and sexually exploited children through our agents and community partners. We assess each child’s needs on a case-by-case basis.
Restore
We provide education, medical care, psychological counseling, trauma-informed therapy, and vocational training to high-risk and sexually exploited children so that they can regain their human dignity, restore their self-esteem, realize their self-worth, and rebuild their lives. Our goal is to assist each individual to become independent and self-sufficient members of society.
Prevent
We work closely with partners in remote regions of Southeast Asia to deliver education workshops about the prevalence, prevention and reporting of child sexual abuse and exploitation.
