The 10 honored families were selected from 44 nominations across the country. Evaluation was conducted from May to early October of 2025.
They include workers, civil servants, members of the armed forces, TV hosts, athletes, young entrepreneurs and farmers.
All of them actively participate in social and community activities and strive to build prosperous, harmonious and happy families. They also work productively, raise their children with care and set good examples in daily life.
Among them, television host couple Le Manh Cuong and Do Huong Giang balance busy media careers with nurturing their social media project “Gia dinh Truyen hinh” (TV Family), a warm digital space promoting love and family values. They also collaborate on popular TV shows such as Cap La Yeu Thuong, Viec Tu Te, Cap La Yeu Thuong and Viet Nam Vui Khoe.
