In October and November 2024, support package number 1 will be rolled out through multi-purpose cash assistance for 580 households. Each household on the list will receive a one-time support amount of VND 3.5 million, which can be used to purchase food, study materials, and other essential household items.
In addition to emergency relief efforts, WVIV plans to provide further assistance, including hygiene kits, repairs for clean water facilities and schools, training in water and sanitation, and information on safeguarding policies. These initiatives aim to stabilize living conditions and create a safe space for children to study and live normally again, ultimately supporting the community in long-term recovery.
