New Zealand supports 355 Vietnamese in Hue and Da Nang amid Covid-19

This project "Leave no one behind in the fight against Covid-19" sponsored by the New Zealand Embassy in Vietnam, through ActionAid Vietnam and local partners in Ho Chi Minh, Hue and Da Nang cities, aims to support local people in the era of Covid.

ActionAid Vietnam cooperated with the Department of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs of Da Nang and the Center for Community Development and Social Work to support to 150 workers in Da Nang and 205 female workers in Hue, helping them better cope with the prolonged pandemic.

In addition to a small cash support of VND 2 million (US$ 86.6) for each employee, the project also shares information on how to manage household expenses, as well as offer guidance on health and mental care during isolation. It is estimated that about 1,300 people will indirectly benefit.

Emphasizing the project's results, New Zealand Ambassador to Vietnam Tredene Dobson said: "Since the outbreak of the pandemic, the New Zealand Ambassadors Fund supporting the negative impact of the Covid-19 pandemic has reached millions of people in difficulties in developing countries. The government and people of New Zealand are committed to supporting and building shared prosperity and stability in the Pacific and beyond, as no one will be safe until everyone is safe from Covid-19."

In 2021, Vietnam experienced a new wave of Covid-19 with a rapid spread and unpredictable severity. Since April 27, the country has recorded more than 8,000 new cases in 34 of 63 provinces, disrupting the lives of millions of people in Vietnam. Da Nang and Thua Thien Hue, two major international tourist centers of the country, were also severely affected.

The number of tourists to Hue in 2021 was only 38.5% compared to the same period in the first quarter of 2020. Meanwhile, tourism in Da Nang was also very dismal, with revenue down 52.5%. The continuous economic recession in Hue and Da Nang has upset the lives of 45,000 and 44,000 people in the two localities respectively. Most are informal workers and workers in difficult circumstances.

Since the start of the 'war' against Covid-19 in 2020, ActionAid Vietnam and its partners have traveled to 11 provinces and cities across the country, supporting more than 45,000 people in difficulties, including women, children, the elderly, ethnic groups, people with disabilities, migrant and informal workers recovering from the pandemic.

This partnership between the Embassy of New Zealand in Vietnam and ActionAid Vietnam strengthens both sides' efforts in supporting vulnerable communities in Vietnam and ensures that no one is left behind.
