Keep Hanoi Clean (KHC) was founded in 2016 by long term American resident, James Joseph Kendall, who wanted to make a real difference in the community and city that was his home – Hanoi, the capital city of Vietnam.

KHC has come a long way since that time and is now a registered social enterprise, with a focus on improving public awareness and real environmental conditions in Hanoi. 

We hold regular cleanup events around Hanoi — and further afield — where we have collected thousands of tons of trash with the help of our passionate and committed volunteers. 

We also have help from communities, organisations and the government to realise our Vision & Mission for a healthy, vibrant and sustainable Vietnam.
