The construction of the centre commenced in 2014 with a total cost of VND41 billion (US$1.8 million). It now has a 70-room nursery house for victims, a detoxification and rehabilitation house, and a dining room for about 150 people.
The project is still underway with the building of a nursery house for AO victims’ families, an exhibition hall, an amusement park, and a commemorative house for people who died of the toxic chemical.
VAVA took this occasion to honour groups that made significant contributions to the building of the centre.
