Giving gifts to Agent Orange victims in especially difficult circumstances

To commemorate the 62nd anniversary of the Agent Orange disaster in Vietnam (August 10, 1961 - August 10, 2023), on August 12, the Provincial Red Cross Society, in coordination with the Vietnam Association for the Protection of Children Affected by Dioxin in France (VNED) and several sponsors, organized a program to present gifts to Agent Orange victims with particularly difficult circumstances in the province.

Representatives of the Vietnam Association for the Protection of Children Affected by Dioxin in France (VNED) and several sponsors presented 29 gift packages, totaling over 150 million VND, including cash, cakes, and milk, to indirect victims of Agent Orange with particularly difficult circumstances. This meaningful gift will provide the children with additional resources to help cover their living expenses and education.

The Association for the Protection of Vietnamese Children Affected by Dioxin in France (VNED) is a voluntary organization of French citizens and the Vietnamese community in France, established in 2001, with the aim of helping victims of Agent Orange in the Vietnam War.

From 2004 to the present, the VNED Association, in coordination with the Ninh Binh Provincial Red Cross Society, has assisted approximately 400 poor children and victims of Agent Orange in the province with a total assistance amount exceeding 2.5 billion VND through three forms of support: sponsorship, scholarships, and interest-free loans.
