The annual event is to raise money for activities to improve quality of life for people with disabilities and orphans.

Established in April 1992, the ASVHO aims to protect the legitimate rights and interests of disabled people and orphans.

It has raised more than VND 2.5 trillion (USD 110.3 million) and received VND 268.2 billion (USD 11.8 million) from the State budget to assist the disabled and poor with orthopedic surgery and rehabilitation, cataract surgery, vocational training, and wheelchairs and bicycles.

The association has supported some 9.8 million handicapped people and orphans across the country.
