have also stepped up communications to promote the spirit of sharing, thus
encouraging people with better conditions to lend a hand to those with more
disadvantages.

billion VND (663,400 USD) in total, has been completed with 18,019
beneficiaries, consisting of 376 revolution contributors, 1,945 others subject
to social protection, 15,698 poor and near-poor households. It was reportedly
done in an open and transparent manner and without mistakes.

individual business households so as to give support to those with annual
revenue of under 100 million VND, employees whose labour contracts were
suspended or terminated, and others without labour contracts who have been
influenced by the pandemic./.
