COVID-19 Relief

Saturday, February 19th, 2022

In recent days, the number of Covid-19 cases in City of Hoi An is increasing. VNHelp received a request for support from Hoi An Medical Center. To avoid overcrowding local hospitals, patients received instructions to monitor their condition at home. On Feb 19, 2022, VNHelp sent 100 oxygen meters to the Center to provide to patients. Patients measure their oxygen level twice a day and report to their doctor for further instructions. When a patient recovers from the illness, the Center will collect the device for continued use.

Emergency Covid-19 Relief program – PHASE I/2021
Over the past few weeks, Covid-19 broke out in Vietnam, many cities are in lock-down, many people suffered from hunger because they totally lost their income. From June 22, 2021 to June 28, 2021, VNHelp sponsors and benefactors contributed to VNHelp’s Covid-19 Relief Fund. Within days, we received $17,000. This entire amount was sent to Vietnam to distribute relief packages to 1,200 families of street vendors, lottery ticket sellers, disabled people, etc. Each gift is worth 350,000 VND (about 15 USD) and will feed a family for about two weeks. We sincerely thank the generous donors for their contribution in time of urgency. Thank you our partner in Phase I, the Missionaries of Faith, who works with VNHELP to carry out Phase I/2021 of our Covid-19 Relief Program. We are asking for your contributions for Phase II/2021 of the Program to bring help to more needy people.

Nangka storm

Wednesday, October 14th, 2020

A new calamity has befallen Vietnam: in October 2020 tropical storm Nangka wreaked unprecedented destruction and misery upon the populations of Southeast Asia. In Vietnam’s central region, the provinces of Thua Thien, Hue, Quang Binh and Quang Tri have been subjected to devastating floods.
As of this writing 23 victims have been washed away by floodwaters and nearly 46,000 people have been evacuated from affected areas; 14 people are still missing, and more than 109,000 homes, 1,443 acres (584 hectares) of crops, scores of roads and bridges have been destroyed. And yet forecasters predict even more torrential rains for the next few days, maybe extending into the weekend.
VNHelp staff, volunteers, and resources have been mobilized to assist in rescue efforts for this monumental disaster. We come to you to urgently ask for assistance, in the form of financial donations, so that we can lend as significant a hand as possible to this initiative. As always we hope that you will open your hearts and generously offer desperately needed help to the hurricane victims in Central Vietnam.

Nước sạch Vĩnh Trụ, Hà Nam

Monday, July 8th, 2019

hanam2Huyện Vĩnh Trụ, Hà Nam là một trong 4 địa điểm được khảo sát và tìm thấy nguồn nước nhiễm thủy ngân với độ đo 348 micro-gram mỗi lít, cao hơn mức chuẩn là 10 micro-gram. Nguồn nước nhiễm thủy ngân sẽ gây ra các hệ lụy như ung thư da, bướu, tiêu chảy. Trẻ sinh ra cũng bị tỷ lệ tử vong cao, bị các chứng ung thư, tim mạch, các rối loạn khác liên quan tới phát triển trí tuệ và trí nhớ. Tại những vùng trồng lúa giáp ranh sông Hồng như Chuyên Ngoại, thủy ngân sẽ len lỏi vào hoa màu, gây ô nhiễm cho người tiêu dùng.

Úc đã tài trợ các dự án đo đạc, lọc nguồn nước sạch dựa trên Khung đánh giá chuẩn môi trường của Úc. Vào tháng 5, chị Đỗ Anh Thư / VNHelp tham gia cùng với các đoàn nước ngoài khác từ Mỹ, Thụy điển, Gia nã đại đi thăm một cơ sở lọc nước sạch.

Mang nước sạch lại cho người dân để bảo vệ sức khỏe cho cả thế hệ sau cũng là một ưu tiên hàng đầu của VNHelp.

Cảm ơn nước Úc.

hanam-clean-waterThe Australian government funds several researches, measurements and setting up clean-water processing stations in the area. In May 2019, Thu Do/VNHelp along with other delegations from America, Sweden, Australia and Canada came to visit such a clean-water processing site.

Bringing clean water to the disadvantages has always been one of the top priorities of VNHelp as we strive to project health of both current and future generations.

 Thank you, Australia.
