Vietnam Red Cross Central Committee launches "Humanitarian Tet" movement 2024

The "Tet Nhan Ai" movement is inherited from the "Tet for the poor and Agent Orange victims" movement launched by the Vietnam Red Cross Society since 1999.

This year marks the second year of the “Humanitarian Tet” Movement. The movement mobilizes and connects the participation and contributions of the community to organize the “Fair - Gift Giving - Happy Tet” models to provide material and spiritual support so that the poor, people in difficult circumstances, and vulnerable people can enjoy spring and celebrate Tet during the traditional Lunar New Year of the nation according to local conditions, contributing to building a united and compassionate community.

The activities are designed to ensure the following principles: respect for the dignity, participation and decision-making rights of beneficiaries; respect for the cultural practices and traditions of local people; promote the support network in the community so that all people can demonstrate their social responsibility towards the poor and disadvantaged by participating in the organization and contributing available resources.
