Nhat Vuong's parents were boat people and escaped from South Vietnam in 1980 with the hope of a better life.
They landed in Malaysia and Nhat was born in Kuala Lumpur in a refugee camp managed by the Red Cross back then.
The same year the ICRC flew the whole family to Switzerland, where they are still living today.

After graduating with a Master Degree in Economics from HEC Lausanne, he received a scholarship from the Swiss-Japanese Chamber of Commerce to study and work in Tokyo.

In 2010, as he was working in the Web industry. Haiti got hit by an earthquake, which gave him the idea to create a crowdfunding platform to increase donations from Japanese people and submitted his project during a Social Business Plan competition from NEC and won the 1st price.
