(CLO) On November 22, at Thai Hoc House in the Temple of Literature - Quoc Tu Giam (Hanoi), the Final Round of the Human Act Prize 2024 took place with the theme "Creating Community".
The "Action for the Community" Award is organized by Nhan Dan Newspaper, with the support of VCCorp Joint Stock Company. This is an annual national award to honor and promote community projects, and to recognize organizations, businesses, and individuals who are making efforts to contribute to society.
According to the Organizing Committee, entering its second year, the Human Act Prize 2024 has attracted 128 quality applications. The submitted projects are extremely diverse in terms of fields of activity, ranging from equal education, community health and prosperity, ending poverty to clean energy, sustainable business and responsible consumption and production.
This year's Jury consists of 12 members who are prestigious and influential figures domestically and internationally.
After a period of serious, objective and impartial work, the Organizing Committee has selected 32 best projects to advance to the Final Round, based on the following criteria: Commitment; sustainability; creativity; impact and ability to spread and inspire the projects/ideas. These are also meaningful projects with positive spread to the community.
Among these, many projects have been implemented persistently for many years, with results measured by convincing numbers and especially have the prospect of further expansion in scale and impact in the near future.
Project representatives will present for 10 minutes before the Jury.
In addition to the participation of large projects from businesses with a vision of responsibility to the community, we acknowledge the contributions from small-scale projects, from individuals, but with creativity in ideas and implementation methods.
In the final round, project representatives will have the opportunity to directly present, interact and answer questions from the Jury. On this basis, the Jury will continue to select the winning projects in each category; at the same time, decide on the best project to award the highest prize of Human Act Prize 2024.
The jury was very impressed with many projects and breakthrough, sustainable ideas towards the community in the categories: Sustainable projects, Ideas for the community, solving community problems, sustainable projects... Including outstanding projects such as the project "Going with children for the rest of their lives" by Thanh Nien Newspaper.
The project team representative said that in September 2021, realizing that the Covid-19 pandemic had caused extremely dire consequences, especially in Ho Chi Minh City, Thanh Nien Newspaper launched a program to sponsor orphans due to the Covid-19 pandemic. After 3 years, by September 2024, activities had been implemented such as visiting, providing emergency support, giving money and gifts to more than 1,800 orphans in Ho Chi Minh City and Binh Duong with more than 4.3 billion VND; sponsoring 454 children of all ages until they are 18 years old, with a total amount of more than 57.8 billion VND; awarding more than 2 billion VND in scholarships to students; sponsoring and linking university and college training for children after 18 years old (after finishing high school)...
"Building Tet" is also an impressive project, part of Coteccons' sustainable strategy, associated with the SGD8 goal - Human Development in the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations. "This activity will be implemented from the beginning of 2023 during the Lunar New Year, bringing a more decent and warmer spring to tens of thousands of construction workers - laborers of subcontractors and suppliers working at the Coteccons construction site", the project representative informed.
Thanks to the comprehensive implementation of specific actions such as giving Tet gifts, organizing health check-ups, taking photos, free haircuts, supporting train and bus tickets to go home,... to creative communication activities contributing to changing prejudices about the construction worker profession, "Xay Tet" has sent a worthy gratitude to the construction workers. Thereby, the program spreads the humane spirit in the industry, so that workers have faith in the business, feel the respect and value of the work they are dedicating.
