150 million VND awarded to support families of victims of Agent Orange/dioxin

Attending the program were Major General Do Hong Lam, Permanent Vice President of the Central Committee of the Vietnam Association of Victims of Agent Orange/Dioxin; representatives of the Provincial Party Committee's Propaganda and Mass Mobilization Committee, and the Bac Ninh Province Association of Victims of Agent Orange/Dioxin.

The Central Committee of the Vietnam Association of Victims of Agent Orange/Dioxin presented a symbol of financial support to the Association of Victims of Agent Orange/Dioxin in Bac Ninh province.

In recent days, due to the impact of floods and storms, many families in Bac Ninh province have been deeply submerged in water, making daily life difficult. According to statistics, the initial damage is estimated at about 1,670 billion VND.

Faced with that situation, the Central Committee of the Vietnam Association of Victims of Agent Orange/Dioxin donated 150 million VND to share the difficulties with victims and their families affected by floods in Bac Ninh province.

At the program, the Organizing Committee presented gifts to 11 households, of which 2 households received livelihood support (10 million VND/household); 9 families received gifts worth 1.2 million VND/household (including 1 million VND and gifts). The remaining amount will be reviewed and allocated by the Provincial Association of Victims of Agent Orange/Dioxin.

Delegates presented gifts to families of Agent Orange/dioxin victims affected by storms and floods.

Speaking here, comrade Do Hong Lam emphasized that families and victims of Agent Orange/dioxin are the ones who suffer many disadvantages in life. The Central Association has organized many delegations to visit and encourage families in many provinces and cities across the country. He hopes that the households receiving support will use the support for the right purpose, promote efficiency, and bring practical economic value.

He highly appreciated the activities of the Bac Ninh Association of Victims of Agent Orange/Dioxin in caring for and supporting victims. At the same time, he requested the unit to regularly monitor and closely follow the grassroots, orienting the implementation of appropriate models, in the spirit of "leaving no one behind". In the coming time, he believes that the Association will continue to promote its role, mobilize social resources to join hands in caring for and helping victims of Agent Orange/Dioxin to have a better life.

The program is a practical activity demonstrating the spirit of “mutual love and support”, the care and sharing of the Association at all levels to help Agent Orange/dioxin victims and their families overcome difficulties and stabilize their lives after natural disasters. It is known that before that, the Provincial Association of Agent Orange/dioxin Victims visited and presented gifts to 31 families of victims affected by storms No. 10 and No. 11.
