War Legacies Project

Goals of WLP's Agent Orange Program:

• To raise awareness about the long term environmental and health impacts of the use of toxic herbicides and defoliants during the Vietnam war.

• To help mitigate the impacts of Agent Orange in Viet Nam through supporting income generation programs, home construction, building and equipping classrooms for developmentally disabled children, raising funds to build rehabilitation and vocational education centers, and raising funds to support Vietnamese organizations working to alleviate the impacts of Agent Orange on human health and the environment

• To put pressure on the US government 1) to accept its moral responsibility for the damages caused by the herbicides and defoliants during the war, 2) to provide humanitarian assistance to affected people and communities in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia and 3) to contain and clean-up the dioxin hotspots that still remain throughout southern Vietnam.

• To hold the chemical companies that produced the toxic herbicides accountable for the damage caused in SE Asia and around the world where the chemicals were used, and in the communities where the herbicides were manufactured.
