The Vietnam Red Cross Society and the National Humanitarian Portal 1400 jointly launched the campaign, targeting to mobilize people to support poor households, AO victims, and natural disasters-hit people to welcome the Lunar New Year Festival.
Accordingly, the campaign will take place from December 9, 2019 to February 7, 2020.
Supporters can join the program by texting “TET” to 1409. Each mobile text message will contribute at least VND 20,000 (US$0.86 USD) to the impoverished.
The program was launched since 2012, serving to back tens of million of beneficiaries and boost the tradition of solidarity and support each other.
Last year, the program mobilized over VND 600 million of donation.
