Delegates at the conference |
The impressive figure was announced on October 22 by the Vietnam Fund for Victims of Agent Orange (AO)/Dioxin in its conference to review the fundraising campaign for the above-mentioned program in support of AO victims.
Lieutenant General Nguyen Huu Chinh, President of the Vietnam Association for Victims of AO/Dioxin (VAVA) and head of the Fund’s management council, chaired the event.
The campaign, implemented from June 10 to September 30, 2025, aimed to mobilize resources to build and repair houses and support livelihood projects for families of AO victims facing hardship.
According to the organizer, the Fund, in coordination with professional bodies of the VAVA Central Committee and the MB’s Charity app, launched the program on June 13, 2025 with the participation of numerous media agencies, resulting in broad coverage and dissemination. The fundraising drive was publicized across nearly 20 online newspapers, magazines, and popular news portals, featuring images, video clips, and social media interactions via MB Bank’s communication channels and the MB’s Charity app. Many central and local radio and television stations broadcast video messages encouraging public donations.
Despite certain challenges, thanks to thorough preparation, timely implementation, and the active involvement of leaders, partners, and relevant agencies, the fundraising program achieved notable success, attracting a large number of donors.
