Canon Vietnam and companies Share and support flood victims in the Northern mountainous provinces

On September 25, September 27, October 3-4, 2024, relief team of Canon Vietnam and Santomas Vietnam Joint Stock Company, Canon Electronics Vietnam Co., Ltd., Nippon Express Vietnam, NRS Raiza Vietnam, MBF Joint Stock Company, Delta International, Bach Son Production and Service Joint Stock Company departed to the districts of Phu Tho (Ha Hoa), Yen Bai (Tran Yen), Bac Giang (Son Dong), Lang Son (Bac Son), Lao Cai (Bac Ha), Cao Bang (Bao Lac). During this trip, Canon and other companies' representatives handed over 900 relief gifts, including cash and necessities: rice, cooking oil, fish sauce, spices, blankets, pillows, bowls, towels, soap, backpacks, notebooks, pens... to disadvantaged and heavily affected household with a total estimated value of more than 2 billion VND (in which Canon Vietnam contributed more than 1.8 billion VND).

This donation amount was contributed by companies and support from the employees of the companies during donation week from 13th to 23rd September. Although the relief gifts cannot completely compensate for the heavy losses that people in the flood-hit areas have to bear but it is the contribution and sincere sharing from the companies and the employees with the desire to support the local people to quickly stabilize their lives after the flood.

Touched by the caring and sharing of the companies, the households expressed their sincere thanks to the companies. In particular, many people could not hold their tears when representatives of the companies came to their homes to give money and donations as well as to share, talk and encourage them and their families. Ms Bui Thi Loan (Quy Mong Commune, Tran Yen, Yen Bai) shared: "I do not know how to express my gratitude to the companies when receiving such practical support. We will try our best to overcome this difficult period as quickly as possible. Thank you to the companies and the agencies..."

During the program, Canon Vietnam delegation and companies also received enthusiastic and valuable support from the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union, the Fatherland Front Committees of districts and communes, and the People's Committees of communes to be able to visit, share and give cash and gifts to 900 households.

Also in October and November of 2010, 2013, 2016, 2020, when people in the Central region faced consecutive storms causing severe damage, Canon mobilized billions of VND to support and donated thousands of affected households in the Central provinces.

“In addition to flood relief, Canon also organized many other meaningful social responsibility activities such as: "Canon Friendship School Chain" project supporting the construction of classrooms for 54 schools nationwide; "Canon Friendship Green Park" project at 12 schools in Hanoi and Bac Ninh; "Lighting up the Countryside" project with nearly 280 km of street lights in the provinces of Bac Ninh, Bac Giang, Hai Duong, Hanoi, Thai Nguyen, Phu Tho, Vinh Phuc, Yen Bai, Lang Son, Tuyen Quang, Thanh Hoa; "Departure with Canon to the Future" project has provided career guidance for nearly 45,000 high school students and donated libraries and bookcases with nearly 13,000 books in the northern provinces...
