According to the Central Committee of the Vietnam Red Cross Society (VRC), this year’s campaign provided long-term aid for 3,785 individuals and organisations. Support included houses, clean water systems, school meal facilities, books, and livelihood assistance, with a total value of more than VND118 billion.

More than 1 million people received emergency aid, gifts, or health support worth over VND584 billion. Additionally, 378 first-aid training sessions and emergency drills were conducted, with a sum of VND6.8 billion .

Major activities concentrated in Quang Tri, Dong Thap, and Dak Lak provinces, where the VRC collaborated with local authorities to organise medical check-ups, distribute free medicines, and support education, nutrition, and livelihoods for underprivileged communities. These events cost more than VND68 billion.

The movement continued to spread across 45 provinces and cities through impactful initiatives such as free patient transport, free meals, and charity food programmes.

A standout feature was the online fitness campaign, held from November 2024 to April 2025. It engaged over 200,000 participants who collectively covered 7.47 million kilometres, raising VND5.62 billion in humanitarian aid through distance-based conversions.

The campaign’s success reaffirmed the Vietnam Red Cross Society’s key role as a connector and coordinator in humanitarian affairs, promoting a compassionate, united, and sustainably developing society.

National Humanitarian Month a journey of kindness that everyone can join

The National Humanitarian Month, which has been held every May since 2018 to respond to the World Red Cross and Red Crescent Day (May 8), has contributed to a strong change in the awareness of humanitarian work of Party committees, authorities, organisations, and individuals, thus creating a widespread solidarity movement in the community.
