After Typhoon No. 3 (Yagi) – the strongest typhoon in the past 30 years in the East Sea and in the past 70 years in Vietnam – thousands of families in the northern provinces suffered heavy losses. Houses, properties and things saved over many years were all swept away in the fierce storm. Faced with such a scene of devastation, the program "Living after the flood" was born to bring new livelihoods to the people.

The program "Living after the flood" is organized by the Military Youth Department, Ministry of National Defense in coordination with many organizations such as the National Volunteer Center, Vietnam Television Youth Union and An Phuc Volunteer Club, expected to take place in early December.

The main objective of the program is to donate 400,000 chickens, 400 pigs and 40 cows to affected people.

Recently, the Army Youth Union and members of the Organizing Committee have conducted surveys in heavily affected areas such as Tuyen Quang, Ha Giang and will continue to Lao Cai, Yen Bai, Cao Bang, Bac Kan. These are places that not only have difficulty accessing relief due to rugged terrain, but are also facing serious consequences after storms and floods.

Sharing about the actual situation, Mr. Chu Viet Ha, Chairman of An Phuc Charity Club, said: "People lost all their houses and properties, rice and crops were severely damaged. In the North, people can only grow two rice crops a year, which means they have to wait until May or June of the following year to be able to harvest again."

The “Living After Floods” program hopes to help people find new livelihoods and rebuild their lives after natural disasters. In particular, the program will focus on supporting households in remote areas where there is little support. The goal is to create a solid foundation for people to develop livestock and restore their family economy.

In 2020, the program supported 10 communes in Quang Binh and Quang Tri provinces with 100,000 breeding chickens, 40 cows and nearly 20 tons of poultry feed, bringing significant results to many families.

"Living after the flood" is not only a support program, but also a symbol of humanity, demonstrating the solidarity and consensus of the community in overcoming difficulties and rebuilding a more sustainable life for people in the North after storms and floods.
