According to statistics, to date, more than 1,500 teenagers and children in Ho Chi Minh City have lost a parent or both parents due to COVID-19.
VYEA Vice Chairman Dang Hong Anh said the programme will call for businesses and benefactors to help create a monthly support allowance of VND1 million for each child until they turn 18 years old.
The VYEA will also coordinate with the Ho Chi Minh City Association for the Protection of People with Disabilities and Orphans to establish and update the list of cases of orphaned teenagers and children due to the COVID-19 epidemic.
As soon as the programme was launched, VYEA Chairman Dang Hong Anh registered to sponsor 7 cases of orphans due to COVID-19 in the districts of Go Vap and Binh Thanh.
Any support for the programme can be sent to the VYEA, account number 002.10.0466369, the Joint Stock Commercial Bank for Foreign Trade of Vietnam (Vietcombank), with transfer content: “Name of donators - ATM Yeu thuong”.
