On June 26, CapitaLand Development (CLD) launched the third “Footsteps of Love” campaign in Hanoi, with the support of CapitaLand Hope Foundation (CHF), the philanthropic arm of CapitaLand Group. The campaign is carried out in partnership with Blue Dragon Children’s Foundation to call on the community to join hands to improve the lives of children and adolescents througheducation programs and essential resource support.
The campaign reflects CapitaLand’s long-term commitment to contributing to the sustainable development of communities in Vietnam. In Hanoi , the campaign will take place from 26 June to 12 October, with the participation of employees, partners and the community, including two main activities: an online Steps Challenge and an outdoor walking event. CHF commits to contributing up to US$97,000 (over VND2.4 billion) when the community together achieves the target of 400 million steps online and 40 million steps at the outdoor event. Participants are encouraged to record their steps throughout the online campaign and gather for the outdoor walking event at Ocean City, Hanoi on 12 October. The outdoor event will feature two scenic walking routes of 2km and 5km, suitable for all ages. Participants can register at https://togetherwestep.vn/ha-noi-2025/.
This grant is part of a three-year commitment of US$270,000 (over VND6.7 billion) to support street children and students in Vietnam. Previously, CHF donated US$75,000 (over VND1.8 billion) to Blue Dragon Children's Foundation, which supports the social resilience of children and adolescents through education, vocational training, career guidance, life skills development and leadership capacity.
Mr. Alwin Low, CEO of CapitaLand Development (Vietnam) North, shared: “We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive in life. Through our strong partnership with Blue Dragon Children’s Foundation, we are gradually realizing our commitment to providing education and practical support to street children and students, helping them escape the cycle of poverty. On the occasion of the 20th anniversary of CapitaLand Hope Foundation, this campaign is a meaningful milestone, demonstrating the Group’s long-term commitment to creating positive and sustainable impacts in Vietnam. In the previous event, we were excited when the outdoor walking event attracted more than 5,000 participants. This year, we aim to double that number and hope to continue to receive support from the community and like-minded organizations, to spread love and create meaningful values.”
Mr. Do Duy Vi, Co-CEO of Blue Dragon Children's Foundation, shared: “For us, love is not only a humanistic value, but also a source of strength to bring about positive changes, especially for disadvantaged children. We are honored to continue to accompany CapitaLand in the “Footsteps of Love” campaign this time to support more street children to have the opportunity to study, helping them have a safe, knowledgeable and hopeful future. This strong partnership allows us to support more children, ensure their safety and inspire them to pursue their passion. Every step we take today will be an important step towards building a brighter tomorrow for the young generation of Vietnam.”

These initiatives have brought practical benefits to more than 19,000 children and young people, with over 26,000 volunteer hours from CapitaLand employees and the community.
The Fullton, CLD's first low-rise housing project in Hung Yen province (next to Hanoi), is the main sponsor of this campaign in Hanoi.
