KOTO fundraiser

Next date: Sunday, 30 November 2025 | 03:00 PM to 06:00 PM

An inspiring afternoon at the Castlemaine Town Hall celebrating and raising funds for KOTO (Know One, Teach One), a social enterprise transforming the lives of at-risk and disadvantaged youth in Vietnam through world-class hospitality training and support.

This special community event brings the warmth, flavour and spirit of Vietnam to Castlemaine, with:

• Authentic Vietnamese canapés paired with local wines
• Live performances
• Short films
• Cyclo rides
• and stories of transformation that will lift your heart
• A raffle and auction will be held with some incredible prizes

KOTO’s impact can be seen right here in Central Victoria: the owner of local favourite Nem Viet was among KOTO’s very first graduates and now runs four thriving restaurants in the region.

Jimmy Pham, KOTO founder, will be the keynote speaker at the event.

All proceeds will go directly to KOTO’s new Forever Home project, a purpose-built training and community hub in Hanoi.
