In early 2020, the COVID-19 broke out and developed complicatedly, thus affecting directly all aspects of the human life. As a result, many people have been unemployed, or had their incomes affected.

Some of its chapters also offered free masks for local people.

In addition, in response to the Vietnam Fatherland Front Central Committee Presidium’s appeal for everyone to join hands in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic and the provincial Fatherland Front Committee’s Standing Board’s call, the provincial Business Association donated 30 million VND. Many enterprises in the province also donated money and items in support for affected people.

Nguyen Ngoc Truyen, Vice Chairman of the association said that the association in general and enterprises in the province in particular always bear the social responsibility of doing social and charitable activities. Therefore, the provincial business community has participated with a high sense of responsibility in different campaigns to support the Fund for the Poor, the Tet for the Poor Fund, the Gratitude Fund, and a campaign in support for people affected by natural disasters.

The heart and practical deeds of the business community have been recognised and highly appreciated by the provincial Party Committee, authorities and people.

Last year, the association stepped up disseminations to encourage its members to actively take part in social welfare activities. The association proactively intensified communications on programmes launched by the province such as presenting gifts to poor people in the Tet holiday, supporting funds for the poor, study encouragement, dioxin/Agent Orange victims, people with disabilities and orphans.

Especially, on the occasion of the Vietnamese Entrepreneurs’ Day (October 13), the association encouraged businesses and entrepreneurs to donate nearly 1.6 billion VND for the Fund for the Poor. Billions of VND were also supported for people affected by floods and landslides in the central region.

Most recently, together with departments, sectors, offices, organisations and individuals inside and outside the province organized activities to care for poor people and policy beneficiaries on the Tet occasion. Right at a conference to carry out 2021 tasks, the provincial Business Association and its chapters and enterprises granted gifts to the poor.
