The parcels were delivered to vulnerable people.

The Vietnamese government announced on March 31 afternoon that people are requested to stay at home and should only go outside for “essential needs,” for the next 15 days to stop the coronavirus pandemic.

During the hours following the announcement, Blue Dragon has been focused on ensuring all families have everything they will need to get through this difficult time.

With the donations from the Taiwan Fund for Children and Families, Blue Dragon is delivering those emergency food parcels to more than 50 people who don’t have access to food or support as a result of the lockdown measures.

Since COVID-19 began, the number of families needing food staples and basic items has almost doubled in Hanoi alone. Approximately 100 more families in remote areas are likely to need food aid now and in the coming weeks. If you are in a financial position to do so, you can consider making a donation to directly support people who remain highly vulnerable during the crisis. See further guidance on here.
