As Chairwoman of the NFVC Sponsorship Council, Xuan thanked the council’s members and benefactors for their financial support and dedication, which have driven the NFVC's notable achievements in the first nine months of this year.

She also commended the Ministry of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs for its close oversight and timely removal of obstacles, ensuring the NFVC's activities remain on track to meet its goals.

Deputy Minister of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs Nguyen Thi Ha outlined the NFVC's targets for 2025, aiming to raise 110 billion VND (4.58 million USD) to support about 110,000 children.

As of September 30, the NFVC already assisted 86,953 children, achieving 79% of its annual target with a funding amount exceeding 52 billion VND.

During the Action Month for Children in 2024, the NFVC disbursed 16.3 billion VND (90.3% of the plan) to aid disadvantaged children nationwide.

Since mid-August 2024, it has provided aid and gifts for over 29,900 children in more than 30 cities and provinces, with a total expenditure nearing 6.6 billion VND.

In response to recent natural disasters, the NFVC coordinated with localities to provide direct assistance to 2,159 children hit by Typhoon Yagi in 19 cities and provinces, with funding totaling nearly 4.56 billion VND.

The fund projected that by December 31, it will have assist 118,000 children, surpassing the annual target by 7.3% with a total budget of over 105 billion VND./.
