WisePass is proud to feature KOTO — Know One, Teach One — which is the first legally-recognized social enterprise of Vietnam.

Founded in 1999 by Mr. Jimmy Pham, KOTO is a social enterprise that empowers young people from disadvantaged and at-risk backgrounds. KOTO provides 24-month internationally-accredited training and professional networks for their trainees resulting in 100% employment rates upon graduation. For 20 years almost 1000 Vietnamese youth have transformed their lives thanks to KOTO. The training center is based in Ha Noi and their training restaurants are both in Ha Noi and Ho Chi Minh City. They also provide a bakery, cooking classes, and catering services. From Monday 19th of August, come to KOTO’s restaurant in Saigon and enjoy a great meal whilst helping them to transform lives.

WisePass is proud to partner with KOTO as we believe that education takes an important part in building a sustainable society. By featuring KOTO in our mobile app, we want to spread their philosophy and encourage more social initiative. Enjoying their services is the best way to experience the fruit of their passion and nourish your daily life.

In this fast-paced world, we want to highlight and encourage our partners to care more about the social and environmental responsibilities of their company.

Available through our application, our members can now enjoy lunch or dinner at their KOTO Training restaurants in Ho Chi Minh City, it will also be available soon at their Training restaurant in Hanoi. Serving Vietnamese and Western type of food, KOTO training restaurants update their menu according to the season to constantly serve fresh and local food.
