Peace Winds organization steps up activities in Vietnam, a step forward in humanitarian mission

Building a sustainable world is the mission of global humanitarian organizations. Peace Winds, with more than 20 years of operation, marked an important milestone in Southeast Asia when appointing a plenipotentiary representative in Vietnam.

Global mission and opportunity with Vietnam Peace Winds was established in Japan in 1996 with the goal of providing humanitarian assistance, mitigating the consequences of natural disasters and building sustainable communities. After many years of operating in Vietnam through relief projects, the organization decided to upgrade its presence by finding a plenipotentiary representative. This not only demonstrates the organization's long-term vision but also creates conditions for more effective implementation of activities in Vietnam.

Ms. Dang Thi Hien - Plenipotentiary Representative of Peace Winds Vietnam.

Ms. Dang Thi Hien, who was appointed as the plenipotentiary representative of Peace Winds in Vietnam, shared that the organization continues to prioritize projects to support communities severely affected by natural disasters, while expanding sustainable development programs. Over the years, Peace Winds has implemented many programs that have brought positive impacts to provinces, including Yen Bai province, one of the provinces severely damaged by Typhoon Yagi. In August, thanks to the connection of the Japan-Vietnam Special Friendship Ambassador, Mr. Sugi Ryotaro, Ms. Dang Thi Hien and all staff of Peace Winds, they implemented a free liver examination project for people in Nghia Lo, Yen Bai. In September, when Typhoon No. 3 (Yagi) caused severe flooding, Peace Winds, Ms. Hien and her colleagues quickly provided necessities to the affected people, leaving an impression with their dedication and timely response.

Not stopping at disaster relief, Peace Winds in Vietnam also focuses on long-term development programs such as: Education: supporting school construction, providing scholarships for students in difficult circumstances. Health: strengthening medical facilities in remote areas, ensuring people have access to basic health care services. Livelihood development: creating conditions for people to improve their lives through skills training programs and supporting sustainable livelihoods.
