In early 2020, the COVID-19 broke out and developed complicatedly, thus affecting directly all aspects of the human life. As a result, many people have been unemployed, or had their incomes affected.

Some of its chapters also offered free masks for local people.

In addition, in response to the Vietnam Fatherland Front Central Committee Presidium’s appeal for everyone to join hands in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic and the provincial Fatherland Front Committee’s Standing Board’s call, the provincial Business Association donated 30 million VND.

Therefore, the provincial business community has participated with a high sense of responsibility in different campaigns to support the Fund for the Poor, the Tet for the Poor Fund, the Gratitude Fund, and a campaign in support for people affected by natural disasters.

The heart and practical deeds of the business community have been recognised and highly appreciated by the provincial Party Committee, authorities and people.

The association proactively intensified communications on programmes launched by the province such as presenting gifts to poor people in the Tet holiday, supporting funds for the poor, study encouragement, dioxin/Agent Orange victims, people with disabilities and orphans.
