Not only meaningful to the recipients, the model also has a strong influence in the business community. Mr. Nguyen Sy Dai - Director of Hoa Tra Company Limited, one of the accompanying units, commented: "This is a very meaningful program. We contribute a small amount of money to support families to solve difficulties, while spreading love and neighborliness. Participating in this model, we find our contribution truly meaningful because the program is very close, helping us understand the circumstances of the people right in the locality."

It is known that Tan Binh ward currently has about 100 households in difficult circumstances. Up to now, the "01 to 01" model has been implemented for nearly 40 households.

According to Ms. Trinh Thi Thuy Ngan - Head of Social Security Movement, Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Tan Binh Ward, this model encourages businesses to allocate a portion of their revenue to take care of a difficult case in the area every month.

"When the Front launched, businesses responded positively. Monthly care will help disadvantaged families see the concern and have more motivation to try. The ward's goal is to complete 100% of disadvantaged households being mentored by 2026, although the plan is set for 2030," Ms. Ngan added.
