Thrive Networks is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and nongovernmental organization, established in the United States after the successful merger of East Meets West Foundation, Blue Planet Network, Reach Global, and Coach for College. We began in 1988 as East Meets West to support vulnerable communities in Vietnam gain access to basic human services, such as health, education, and water and sanitation. In Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos, we continue to operate under the name East Meets West Foundation.
