On September 22, 2017, Dow Vietnam in partnership with the Habitat for Humanity Vietnam built two houses for the two underprivileged households in Kim Boi District, Hoa Binh Province. Three colleagues from Dow Ho Chi Minh Office also joined the building with Dow Hanoi Team. Sasama Tomoyuki, Country Manager of Dow Vietnam said, “Having a decent home is one of the problems that many people in Vietnamese society face. Dow has been working closely with Habitat for Humanity and local governments to address the issue. In the last 10 years, Dow Vietnam built more than 30 houses for the underprivileged households. These building projects gave them the opportunity to enjoy a better quality of life and brought hope to the underprivileged people.”
The building activity is an annual event and attracts the active participation of Dow Vietnam employees. On November 03, Dow Vietnam has planned to build two more houses for the underprivileged in Long An Province, the Southern part of Vietnam. In addition, Dow Vietnam will also partner with Habitat for Humanity Vietnam to donate a water purification system for more than 200 pupils at Thuong Tien Primary Schools in Kim Boi District, Hoa Binh province. Furthermore, a WASH education campaign will be held to enhance the pupils’ awareness of sanitation, clean drinking water and the environmental protection.
