Background
Passerelles Numériques is a non-profit organization under French law, created in 2005, operating in four countries: Cambodia, the Philippines, Vietnam and Madagascar.
Our mission is to provide education, technical and professional training in the digital sector to young underprivileged people by leveraging their potential and willpower. We endeavor to truly develop their employability, which will allow them and their families to escape poverty sustainably, and contribute to the social and economic development of their countries.
Our beneficiaries are typically underprivileged, and in extremely precarious situations, according to the criteria PN has defined/specified for each of the countries in which it operates.
Passerelles Numériques Vietnam (PNV) has been supporting underserved youth in Central Vietnam since 2010, with a training center based in Da Nang. Throughout the last 14 years, 560 students have graduated from the PNV training program with a college degree in Information Technology.
