Just Massage began as a collaboration between Action for the City and an international NGO to create a place for young adults with visual impairments to learn the art of massage and earn a fair wage from their skills. After more than two years of successful operation, Just Massage is now becoming an independent social enterprise. From July 2010, te massage studio is run by Hai Trieu Duc Co, Ltd. founded by three members: Nguyen Thi He and Le Thi Thuy Dung, massage therapists who have involved in the project from the very beginning, and Tran Nha Thanh, the former Just Massage Manager. Just Massage works to develop its concept of creating sustainable job opportunities for disadvantaged youth through providing free vocational training and job placements. A large part of its benefit from massage services will be the financial sources to train disadvantaged youth the art of massage, providing them dignified jobs as well as support social and charital activities
