Super Typhoon Yagi, the strongest storm in three decades, wreaked havoc on communities in its path, leaving countless families destitute and causing extensive damage to infrastructure. The subsequent flooding has also brought immense suffering to the people of northern provinces. Hundreds of thousands of households are now facing immense hardship and lacking essential supplies.
Embracing the spirit of compassion and disaster relief, Vinamilk is stepping up during this critical phase by providing over 550,000 essential nutritional products, including fresh milk, plant-based milk, condensed milk, and beverages, to those affected by the storm and floods. These supplies are being swiftly delivered to people in ten affected provinces: Hanoi, Yen Bai, Thai Nguyen, Son La, Cao Bang, Hung Yen, Vinh Phuc, Tuyen Quang, Bac Ninh, and Ninh Binh.

On September 11, Vinamilk presented 1 billion VND worth of nutritional products to the people of Thai Nguyen and Yen Bai, the provinces bearing the brunt of the disaster, through the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union Central Committee. This donation will aid those in flooded areas who lack food and drinks, with a particular focus on ensuring that children receive the milk and nutrition they need.

On the same day, Vinamilk also contributed an additional 500 million VND worth of products, equivalent to 100,000 items, to Hanoi (through the Hanoi Mới newspaper) as the city grapples with severe flooding, especially in areas along the Red River, due to rising water levels.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Minh Tam, Director of Vinamilk Hanoi Branch, shared: “Our Vinamilk trucks are delivering a large quantity of nutritional products to those in need in Hanoi, Hung Yen, and Vinh Phuc. We are also doing our best to reach mountainous provinces in the north, such as Yen Bai, Son La, and Cao Bang, despite the current challenges with road conditions due to landslides and heavy rains. We are committed to getting our support to those affected as quickly as possible!”

Mr. Le Hai Long, Vice Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union Central Committee, expressed his gratitude: “During storms and floods, essential goods like milk and beverages are crucial for supporting people, especially children. Many localities have been inundated for several days, facing significant shortages. Vinamilk’s support is very timely during this phase. With solidarity and the community’s joint efforts, we believe that everyone will overcome these challenges and soon stabilize their lives.”
In addition to aiding affected individuals and children, Vinamilk will also provide a portion of the products to functional forces and local authorities engaged in rescue and relief work in the aftermath of the typhoon and floods.

In northern Vietnam, Vinamilk has factories, farms, branches, and warehouses in Tuyen Quang, Bac Ninh, and Hanoi, among other locations. Alongside community support initiatives, thousands of Vinamilk employees have worked tirelessly to ensure production, supply, and transportation of essential nutritional products to areas affected by natural disasters. Additionally, the company is identifying employees and their families impacted by the calamity to provide timely assistance and moral support.
Sure, I can assist you with that.
