The norther mountainous province of Lang Son is striving to complete more than 900 new houses for the needy before the Lunar New Year or Tet.

The “Million steps of kindness” walk campaign held by the Vietnam Red Cross Society (VRC) and the Vietnam Youth Federation to call on the community to engage in physical activities to raise donations to the needy, has surpassed its goal, even 12 days earlier than the schedule.

The Hanoi Labour Confederation launched a “zero VND supermarket on a bus” to support workers affected by COVID-19. A few days on, the buses have brought essential items to help more than 2,500 pandemic-hit workers under quarantine or facing difficult circumstances.

Localities, agencies and organisations nationwide are working together to help impoverished people enjoy a warm traditional Lunar New Year (Tet) festival.
