KOTO Training Center and Catering Services

KOTO is a non-for profit vocational training program that changes the lives of Vietnam’s street and disadvantaged youth.

Established in 1999, we have grown from a small sandwich shop in Hanoi to a 200-trainee capacity, multi-location internationally accredited (by Box Hill Institute –Australia) hospitality program that gives street and disadvantaged youth the start in life that everyone deserves. We are now, and have always been, a social enterprise, where all profits are invested back into the project for the good of the trainees.

KOTO consists of 2 organisational units: The KOTO Foundation and The KOTO Enterprise.
KOTO Foundation takes care of our trainees and includes the two training centres in Saigon and Hanoi. It is funded through donations and through contributions by KOTO Enterprises.

KOTO Enterprises is our revenue generating unit, consisting of two core restaurants in Saigon and Hanoi, catering services and social ventures such as Pots’n Pans and My Place.

- KOTO Catering Services caters for a wide range of events, from large scale- cocktail to intimate dinner parties in both Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.
