While having the experience of a lifetime, they raised funds for the fight against human trafficking and to change the lives of Vietnamese children in crisis.
Held annually in Vietnam, Rally Indochina is the largest annual charity motorbike ride in South East Asia. The Blue Dragon Children’s Foundation uses these funds to fight against child trafficking from the central coast and northern mountains into illegal sweatshops in Ho Chi Minh City.
Over the past 9 years, Rally Indochina riders have raised a whopping USD 272,000 (VND 6.3 billion), transforming the lives of hundreds of human trafficking survivors./.
