Tuong An Vegetable Oil Company gave gifts totally worth VND270 million (US$11,800) for the Lunar New Year to over 2,200 disadvantaged families in HCM City’s Can Gio District this week.

It was done as part of a charity programme to support disadvantaged people in co-operation with local authorities and other charity organisations.

The gifts included cash, products made by the company, and confectionery.

Tuong An also joined hands with Phu Yen authorities and other companies to build houses for three disadvantaged families in the central province whose houses were destroyed by Storm 12 last November.

Tuong An, one of the leading cooking oil producers in the country, has for many years undertaken charity programmes for disadvantaged people. — VNS
