Spreading the power of compassion from the grassroots.

(GLO) - The 2021-2026 term concluded with many outstanding achievements in the work of the Red Cross Society and the Red Cross movement in Gia Lai province. The various levels of the Society have played a core role, acting as a bridge and coordinator of humanitarian activities, making significant contributions to the implementation of social welfare policies and spreading the spirit of mutual support and compassion.

The mark of a term filled with hard work.

According to Mr. Ha Van Cat, Chairman of the Provincial Red Cross Society, the 2021-2026 term took place under conditions with a mix of advantages and disadvantages. Besides the attention of the Party and State to social welfare and humanitarian activities, the locality still faced major challenges such as the lingering consequences of war, natural disasters, epidemics, and a high percentage of poor households and vulnerable groups.

"Under those circumstances, the merger of the former Binh Dinh Provincial Red Cross Society and the Gia Lai Provincial Red Cross Society into the Gia Lai Provincial Red Cross Society has opened up a broader space for development, creating conditions to leverage the strengths, experience, resources, and staff of the two localities," Mr. Cat emphasized.

Overcoming difficulties and challenges, the Red Cross branches at all levels have comprehensively implemented all aspects of their work and achieved many outstanding results. After the merger, the province has 135 commune and ward branches, 3,337 sub-branches, 17 clubs and volunteer groups with more than 61,000 members and 56,000 volunteers and Red Cross youth. This is the core force directly bringing humanitarian activities to the community.

Over the past five years, the total value of humanitarian activities throughout the province reached nearly 885 billion VND, assisting more than 3 million poor people, those in difficult circumstances, and vulnerable groups. These figures not only reflect the effectiveness of the organization's activities but also demonstrate the strength of solidarity and sharing in society.

From major movements and campaigns such as "Tet of Compassion," "Good People, Good Deeds - Working Together to Build a Compassionate Community," and "Each Organization, Each Individual Linked to a Humanitarian Cause," to activities such as healthcare, voluntary blood donation, livelihood support, housing construction, and emergency assistance for people affected by natural disasters and calamities... all have been widely implemented, creating a positive impact in the community.

Focus on the grassroots, put the people at the center.

Continuing the humanitarian journey.

Entering the 2026-2031 term, the Provincial Red Cross Society faces new opportunities and demands.
