The National Humanitarian Month will run from May 1-31, associated with the 70th anniversary of the Dien Bien Phu Victory (May 7, 1954 – 2024), and the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Hanoi (October 10, 1954-2024).
During the month, 70,000 people are expected to join the “Trieu Buoc Chan Nhan Ai” (Millions of Steps of Kindness) through the V-Race application, raising 7 billion VND (285,306 USD) in support of humanitarian activities.
The VRC aims to support 100,000 individuals and collectives in difficult circumstances, and strives to mobilise 400 billion VND to carry out such activities in the month and provide aid for needy cases in the year.
VRC Chairwoman Bui Thi Hoa said apart from raising funds for disadvantaged cases during the month, outstanding citizens in carrying out humanitarian activities will also be honoured on this occasion.
