The program focuses on supplying medical materials, delivering essential goods, and fostering sustainable development cooperation.
The campaign seeks contributions from individuals, communities, and businesses, both domestic and international. Donors can give via QR codes, public collection boxes, mobile apps, or the Vietnam Red Cross website. Schools will organize creative activities, including letter-writing and “small plan” fundraisers for Cuban children.
