Generali Vietnam has launched a fundraising challenge, called “Gop buoc chan xuyen Viet – Sai rong canh yeu thuong” (Stepping across Vietnam – Spreading the wings of love) to support the Government of Viet Nam’s COVID-19 prevention and control efforts.
The initiative aims to encourage sports spirit in the community to improve people's health during the pandemic and raise funds to support disadvantaged families affected by COVID-19. With strong participation and engagement from Generali’s staff, agents and the community, the programme has contributed a total amount of VND1.5 billion to support the anti-COVID-19 efforts in Viet Nam.
Specifically, Generali Vietnam provided, via the National Fund for Vietnamese Children (NFVC), VND500 million worth of financial support to 500 underprivileged children and their families at COVID-19 quarantine facilities in the provinces of Dien Bien, Bac Giang and Bac Ninh. The company also donated VND1 billion to the Vietnamese government’s vaccine fund.
“This initiative has allowed us to concurrently achieve three goals: supporting the national anti-COVID-19 efforts, encouraging people to exercise and improve their health during the pandemic, and engaging our staff and agents during social distancing. The programme vividly demonstrates our desire and commitment to become a “Lifetime Partner” to Vietnamese families all across the country,” said Generali Vietnam CEO Tina Nguyen.
“Gop buoc chan xuyen Viet – Sai rong canh yeu thuong” is part of The Human Safety Net (THSN)’s THSN Global Challenge 2021 which gathered about 4,000 volunteers from 23 THSN countries to support vulnerable families and individuals in the communities.
From the beginning of 2020, Generali Vietnam has implemented various initiatives to support the COVID-19 response, such as providing high quality medical protective suits to the National Hospital for Tropical Diseases and HCMC’s Hospital for Tropical Diseases, syringe pumps to the Da Nang Hospital and a community music project “Viet Nam oi! Danh bay COVID!” (Vietnam! Fight off COVID!) sponsored by the Ministry of Health. — VNS
