VISION AND PURPOSE
FOUNDING FORCES.
The founding came from a convergence of four Human Trafficking issues and incidents where
1. Vietnamese trafficked men women and children were appearing in increasing

numbers in the UK & in Ireland from 2011 to 2016.
2. In the ethnic minority villages in the remote Vietnam Highlands concerns about young
villagers at risk of trafficking were being expressed by the then Bishop Oanh of Kontum.
3. Dat Pham Tuan and Sean Cassin while volunteering on an ecology project in Nha
Trang found young Vietnamese labor trafficked internally in clothes sweat shops, restaurants,
or displaced children supplying sex to tourists. Young people in Nha Trang were required to
work with no pay and were kept indentured by their need for food and accommodation
only.
4.Dasatt set up an independent trial restaurant with investment funding in the coastal town of
Muine and opened it to training youth from the poorest fishing villages to learn skills in tourism
and catering

The Guardian
newspaper in
May 2015

that there were

children
trafficked in UK
in 2015.

FOREWARD BY THE CHAIRPERSON.
If I was to look for a word that represents the core of Dasatt’s

development during 2017 it would not be a boasting of the many
achievements against considerable opposition. Instead I seek a
word that describes how we worked and how we went about
achieving so much. This word would have to be “pioneering”
Dasatt at its heart has the passion to go into the places and into the
lives of those most vulnerable to Human Trafficking where few or no
NGO’s have gone before us.
It is a place that even governments, local, national and International are reluctant to tread as the
source villages for human trafficking hold secrets that have the potential to be incendiary.
Some of these areas are sensitive both politically and historically. Yet It is the firm conviction of Dasatt
that it is the remoteness and the poverty that make these places open to trafficking. The trafficking
movement is from within the village structure as much as it is from without by the more unscrupulous
traders in this human misery.
Our help to build the two dormitory hostels in Kontum gave us a unique access to almost 50 ethnic
minority youth from villages far flung and remote without infrastructure or health services not to
mention roads. The research conducted among 80 ethnic minority youth in Kontum Province is a first in
teaching us about beliefs and knowledge about trafficking among these highland people.
In a similar way our entry into the destitute fishing villages in Muine where the early school leavers
become prey to labour exploitation and to risky labour migration. Through our use of free English
classes for these villages we won the minds and hearts of the families which in turn made our
acceptance to local and National Government a great deal easier.
It was an affirmation to Dasatt to learn at the close of 2017 that we would be licensed by the Vietnam
Government to continue our pioneering efforts particularly in Kontum where we are the first foreign
NGO to be so licensed.
Dasatt has a different approach which is constantly about the mutual engagement and discussion
with those we wish to serve. Our Strategic Plan for three years was crafted out of this approach of
consultation and involvement of the local key stakeholders.
This pioneering work would not have been possible without the generosity of the many people and
organisations that funded us. We’re indebted to the Tax Payers of Ireland who support Misean Cara
our main funder. The Irish Franciscan FMU who are agents for that funding.
I need to thank all those who accompanied us in Dasatt over 2017, our CEO who tirelessly commutes
between Ireland and Vietnam to establish the Dasatt Structures there. We are indebted to Mr. Phillipe
Jaccaud who led the Dasatt Vietnam Committee and conducted an in-depth review of our working
in Vietnam. Also, the team in Muine who the ones are daily venturing out into the villages and making
new liaisons and friendships that become the forum for anti-trafficking talking.
Tony Geoghegan Chair

OVERVIEW BY THE CEO.
In 2017 Dasatt invested some €46,000 in the planning and implementation of new strategies to
counter the growing trafficking of men women and children from Vietnam.
The investment has yielded a great deal more than just planning and
strategizing.
True it has given a three-year map to be followed but the making of the
map is itself based on the front- line experience and engagement from a
previous three-year period of exploring, discussion, analysis and
experimenting with anti-trafficking models. The Strategic plan is a
distillation and integration of painstaking travel, interviewing and recording
of the views and suggestions of persons as diverse as village leaders, family
interviews, local Communist Party officials along with reticent clergy and forward-looking bishops, all
two of them in Kontum.
Alex Pham was an invaluable asset in leading and compiling this plan and his diplomacy and charm
allowed Vietnamese to trust and communicate with him freely.
The plan is also based on the concrete interventions that offered young people real time alternatives
to risky labour migration. The success of the Kontum Dormitory Accommodation continues to offer 50
ethnic minority youth from the remotest villages a chance at mainstream secondary level education.
Two of the most informative pilot interventions funded by us in 2017 were the delivery of an innovative
research study in the Highlands of Kontum and the teaching and training of young people at our
training restaurant in Muine beside the struggling fishing villages.
The research with 80 ethnic minority youth in the Kontum Highlands is the first such study to attempt to
find a base line that can inform future research into beliefs and attitudes of far flung villages about
human trafficking. It is the remotest villages that have the highest incidence of trafficking.
Some of our well-meaning funders ask us “what has teaching English to do with anti-trafficking” Even if
the students knew nothing about Human Trafficking their capacity to speak English is both a
prevention and a deterrent to being trafficked in itself.
A young person who has the rudiments of English language will be shunned by traffickers as they have
the capacity to report and identify their traffickers
In addition, English language is invaluable to seek help or escape trafficking in most countries of the
world.
In conclusion Dasatt is well poised for further action. We know where we want to go both strategically
and physically. We want to go to the source where Human Trafficking begins and is bred. In the ethnic
minority villages and fishing villages we have gained a foothold that enables us to gain access and to
disrupt the conditions that make human trafficking possible. Please help us to deliver on what we are
poised able and willing to do.

ACHIEVEMENTS 2017
PLANNING
STRATEGIC PLAN
We developed a three-year Strategic Plan that engaged with our front-line workers in Muine and in
Kontum, with local organizations in Vietnam and in Ireland. The result is a comprehensive statement of
vision that creates both Objectives and Actions with clearly stated timelines. It includes agreed
verifiers for actions done and assigns responsibilities to named persons for delivering and reporting on
actions.
We produced a Business Plan for the future work of training young people from the fishing villages in
Catering, Tourism, English language. The plan considers the options and outcomes for remaining in our
Brick Café Facility or for separating training as a stand-alone project.
GENDER ANTI DISCRIMINATION PLAN.
The plan has agreed a partnership with another NGO HESE in the
Kontum Province to tackle the gender discrimination towards
women working in recycling refuse in the dumps in Kontum.
Gender Discrimination is recognised as the second highest factor
leading to Human Trafficking of Women.
We are awaiting the Result of our Misean Cara application to

fund this.
ADVOCACY
DASATT BRIEFED THE IRISH PRESIDENT ON THE EVE OF

HIS STATE VISIT TO VIETN AM.
At a meeting in the Arus an Uactharan the Dasatt Board briefed

President Higgins on the links between economic models of
development in Vietnam that impact and cause Human
Trafficking. The President raised these issues on his State visit to
Vietnam
We presented the broader context of trafficking to local

government in Vietnam and to national governments in The Minister For Foreign Affairs, Sean Cassin CEO, Sabrina
Higgins, President Higgins and Dat Pham Tuan in Saigon
Vietnam and Ireland in order to influence policies that will
remove the conditions creating trafficking viz poverty, discrimination, inaccessible education.

FRANCISCANS INTERNATIONAL AT UN
At International levels Dasatt in partnership with Franciscans International are advocates for change in
the Human Rights abuses towards ethnic people that initiate the dislocation of persons for economic
development. Trafficking of Vietnamese will be an issue at UN levels.
INTERVENTIONS
POVERTY ASESSMENT TOOL
We developed piloted and now operate a family assessment

tool that measures poverty in the fishing villages.
VILLAGE LIAISON TEAM .
Our village liaison team made up of three people, two

qualified in Social Development one trainee, administer this
assessment as the mechanism for selecting young at-risk
people in the villages for membership of our English classes
and our skill training course.
CATERING TRAINING PILOT
In Muine at Brick Café we completed a skill training Pilot at Brick Café that took eight trainees for over
six months to learn Waiter, Cooking, Bar person. This led to further employment in the area and some
who returned to mainstream education. We await funding to further this training programme. Subject to
further funding we are ready to deliver this training to a further ten young people and we have secured
the Catering training by a 5-star qualified Chef who will do the training three days a week for six
months.
ETHNIC MINORITY DORM ITORY ACCOMODATION
The Ethnic Minority Dormitory accommodation set up by Dasatt

with the Vietnamese Franciscans in 2016 reached its full
occupancy in 2017. Here teenagers boys and girls from the most
far flung villages in the Highlands are able to attend state
secondary schools 2 km from the accommodation.
Picture right shows first arrivals at Woman’s dorm.
One youth came over 70 km from his home near the Laos border.
The ethnic minority villages along this border have very high risk
and incidences of young people being trafficked.

NGHIA & MIMI WRITE FROM THE FISHING VILLAGE
Last week the team visited 2 families (scored level 2 on our assessment form). One of
the two families has the following situation: Their family has 4 people, parents and two
daughters (15 years
old and 9th grade).
Father is a fisherman,
he has a small basket
boat, and his work
will start from 2 am to
9am, alone floating
on the sea, no roof,
rainy days his whole
body wet, cold with a
hope to catch some
fish. Mother is a
housewife, she must
to work all day, takes care of her children’s, sells fish, in addition from 11pm to 5am
and 1pm to 3pm she went to work making vermicelli rice. This is hard work she has
done for the last 10 years. They have twin daughters, gentle and well behaved,
obedient. Previously they lived in an old dilapidated house with no sleeping space
and the tin wall could fly away when the storm came. With saving money, borrowed
from relatives, and now also they owe money to the building materials store, 2months
ago a new house was completed, although no costly equipment but it is a new
beginning for a new future.

TRAFFICKING FACTS
Trafficking of Vietnamese children shows

that the age of victims has changed.
Before 2004, most victims were 20+ years
old. Now the victims are younger and
younger. The girls at highest risk tend to
be between 12-14 years old.

PIONEERING ANTI TRAFFICKING RESEARCH
MEASURING ETHNIC MIN ORITY YOUTH ABOUT TR AFFICKING AWARENESS.
RESEARCHER AND RESEARCH M ETHOD.
Sean Cassin is a Sociologist in the fields of Social Development.
This Study was conducted over successive visits to the Ethnic Highland villages of
the Kontum Province. between 2015 and 2016.
The main tool of the research was a tested questionnaire that surveyed the
target population of ethnic minority youth. The analysis of the ten questions
answered by 80 individuals enable reliable conclusions to be made. The
questionnaires were administered individually by a trained research and
delivered in situ of the interviewee.
TITLE: Measuring Human trafficking Awareness among Vietnamese Ethnic Minorities.
The remoteness and restrictions on travelers into Highland Villages makes information gathering about
human trafficking very difficult. Yet the disproportionate numbers of these people being trafficked
makes research essential. Measuring ethnic minority youth about trafficking awareness was necessary
in order to inform Dasatt about what future levels of awareness training could be introduced to ethnic
minorities.
Eighty questionnaires were completed by teenage youth from the remote Highlands tribes.
The findings showed a clear understanding about human Trafficking but a lack of knowledge about
the extent of persons trafficked from their own villages. The full report is on wwww.dasatt.com.
RESEARCH CONCLUSION.
The research shows that ethnic minority youth from the Kontum Highlands have an awareness about
the reality of Human Trafficking. In keeping with general populations internationally they were less
aware of its reality in their own immediate environments. Mostly they didn’t know if it was occurring or
not.
There are some five strong indicators of incidence of persons being trafficked from the research. These
relate to missing persons with the added element of monies borrowed to assist labour migration. This is
5.20% likely trafficked persons out of a total sample of 78 participants.
Two thirds of the researched sample came from a well-ordered parish which engages strongly in
trafficking prevention measures by promoting structured labour migration. In this population at Podu
there is greater knowledge about the nature and risks of Human Trafficking.

18
By contrast the poorer sample in the accommodation near Pleiku were less informed. In particular they
knew of no structures to assist labour migration in their villages. This leaves them more vulnerable to
labour exploitation and to being trafficked.
The research indicates a higher correlation between low trafficking awareness and fragmented under
developed communities. Future awareness programs to deter Human trafficking need to target the
more disadvantaged areas with low to no infrastructure and lacking community cohesion
mechanisms.
Sean Cassin March 2017
OUR VIETNAMESE AND ENGLISH BROCHURES.
Dasatt designed information brochures in both English and Vietnamese. These help create
awareness about Dasatt work but also about Human Trafficking.

19
TRAINING AT BRICK CAFÉ.
In 2016 and 2017 we piloted the training of eight young people for 6
months from the poorest families at our Brick Café restaurant. This
involved formal English classes, waiting on tables, cooking, bar work.
Three went back to school to second level, two got jobs in Ho Chi
Minh and Hanoi, One still works in the Night Market nearby as a
barman. Three are still attending our Dasatt training and English
classes.
PROVIDING ENGLISH CLASSES
ENGLISH CLASSES THE ANTIDOTE TO TRAFFICKING.
Young people who can speak English are

not only better able to secure jobs in the
growing tourist developments but in the
event of being labour exploited, kidnapped
or trafficked they can seek help in many
countries of the world.
Dasatt has delivered English classes five

days a week to Adults, Teenagers and
children over the past three years.
Students are means tested at family levels

using a Dasatt Assessment tool for
measuring needs of the families. The assessment tool covers such status as health,
property, family numbers, employment, income and social life.
Severe poverty in a family alerts Dasatt to offering trainee skills placement to the most
at risk youth.
In 2017 Dasatt assessed over 40 families from the Muine Fishing villages.
In 2017 Dasatt taught 70 students with over 250 English classes.
IN 2017 DASATT prepared 8 trainees with English language to help them train and get
work in Catering Food and Beverage skills at Brick Café.

PLANNING THE WASTE W ORKER PROJECT KONTUM
In response to the causative factors in gender discrimination that make women more
likely to be trafficked than men DASATT is selecting a group of the most demeaned
women in the Highlands for a project intervention. These women with their children
work in the refuse dumps of Muine. They harvest plastic, paper, copper, and other
items for recycling. The gasses and contamination leave them with skin and
breathing disorders. Dasatt’s primary concern is to avert the risky labour migration of
the children.
Our partners from Enterprise Social Environment and Natural Resources Upland -
Environmental and Social private Highlands Enterprise (HESE) have agreed to work
with the women to improve their health and income options. Address: 269/10 Tran
Van Hai, Truong Chinh Ward, Kon Tum City.
