Yagi is recognized as the strongest storm in 30 years, not only sweeping away the possessions of many families and devastating structures in its path, but the subsequent flooding also caused immense damage to the people of the northern provinces. In the past few days, hundreds of thousands of households have been facing immense difficulties, lacking essential goods.
Embodying the spirit of mutual support and disaster relief, Vinamilk is providing over 550,000 essential nutritional products such as fresh milk, plant-based milk, condensed milk, and beverages to the affected people and children in the storm and flood-hit areas during this phase. The shipments are being promptly delivered to the people in 10 affected provinces and cities, including Hanoi, Yen Bai, Thai Nguyen, Son La, Cao Bang, Hung Yen, Vinh Phuc, Tuyen Quang, Bac Ninh, and Ninh Binh.
On September 11, Vinamilk presented 1 billion VND worth of nutritional products to the people of Thai Nguyen and Yen Bai, the most severely affected provinces, through the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union Central Committee. This batch of products will support people in flooded areas who lack food and drinks, with a priority given to children and juveniles in need of milk and nutrition.
On the same day, Vinamilk also donated an additional 500 million VND worth of products, equivalent to 100,000 units, to Hanoi (through Hanoi Mới newspaper), which has also been severely impacted by the storm, especially the people in the Red River area who are suffering from severe flooding due to the rising water levels.
“At present, Vinamilk’s trucks are transporting a large quantity of nutritional products to support people facing difficulties due to storms and floods in provinces such as Hanoi, Hung Yen, and Vinh Phuc,” said Ms. Nguyen Thi Minh Tam, Director of Vinamilk Hanoi Branch. “In addition, in some northern mountainous provinces like Yen Bai, Son La, and Cao Bang, road conditions are currently challenging due to landslides and heavy rain, but we will do our best to quickly deliver products to support the people there!”
Mr. Le Hai Long, Vice Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union Central Committee, shared, “During storms and floods, essential goods like nutritious food and drinks, especially milk, are crucial for supporting the people, especially children. In many localities, people have been living in flooded conditions and facing shortages for many days. Vinamilk’s support is very timely in this phase. I believe that with the solidarity and joint efforts of the community, we will overcome these difficulties and soon stabilize our lives.”
In addition to supporting the affected people and children, Vinamilk will also provide a portion of milk and beverages to functional units and local authorities engaged in rescue and relief work and post-disaster recovery.
In the northern region, Vinamilk has units such as factories, farms, branches, and warehouses in Tuyen Quang, Bac Ninh, and Hanoi. Alongside community support activities, thousands of company employees have been working diligently to ensure production, supply, and transportation of necessary nutritional products to the disaster-stricken areas. Additionally, Vinamilk is identifying employees and their families affected by the natural disaster to provide timely support and encouragement.
