The gifts were presented with the attendance of representatives from local authorities, beneficiary households, and AES Vietnam.
In Quang Ninh Province, this is the 7th consecutive year AES Mong Duong, a subsidiary of AES Vietnam, has delivered these gifts to local communities. This year, 60 disadvantaged and five vulnerable households from Mong Duong Ward, the communes of Cong Hoa and Cam Hai, and 130 local pupils of Dong Mo unit – school received the gifts.
Mr. Diep Van Nguyen, Vice Chairman, Cong Hoa People’s Committee, on behalf of the local authorities, said: “I would like to express sincere thanks to AES Vietnam for continuing to join hands with the commune and support local residents. The company’s donation on occasion of the Tet holiday is very meaningful for local people during the traditional Lunar New Year celebrations."
In Binh Thuan Province, gift sets were presented to 100 poor households in the communes of Song Phan and Son My, and Tan Nghia town. Most of those receiving the gifts in Song Phan are from the Rai ethnic minority group. Each household received a gift set valued at VND500,000, which included basic commodities for the holiday season.
Mrs Nguyen Thi Thuan, from a poor household in Hamlet 4, Son My commune, is living in especially difficult circumstances, raising three children alone. When receiving the Tet gifts from AES Vietnam, she said, "My family is really happy and appreciates AES Vietnam for presenting us with these gifts, which make a full and meaningful Tet celebration for us."
“With more than 15 years of operation in Vietnam, AES has become a trusted partner with extensive global knowledge and deep local roots. We understand the importance of Tet in Vietnamese culture and we hope that these gifts will contribute to sharing difficulties and helping the poor in the area celebrate a warm and happy Tet”, said David Stone, President of AES Vietnam.
The Tet gifts are part of AES Vietnam’s social impact program, which aims to improve the quality of life for local communities, focusing on four main pillars – health, education, livelihoods and infrastructure.
