More than VND 10 billion raised through 'Small Contributions, Great Compassion' campaign

More than 700 educational institutions participated in the humanitarian campaign “Small Contributions, Great Compassion.”

According to the Hai Phong Red Cross Society, as of June 8, the total amount raised through the 2026 campaign “Small Contributions, Great Compassion – Lunar New Year Gifts for Disadvantaged Students and Agent Orange Victims” exceeded VND 10 billion.

Of this amount, more than VND 7 billion was retained by educational institutions to carry out humanitarian activities in accordance with regulations, while over VND 2.5 billion was contributed to the Hai Phong Red Cross Society—nearly 3.2 times higher than the amount collected in 2025. The remaining funds were allocated to Red Cross organizations at the commune, ward, and special-zone levels to support humanitarian activities in local communities.

In 2026, the Hai Phong Red Cross Society, in coordination with the Department of Education and Training and the Hai Phong Youth Union, launched the campaign “Small Contributions, Great Compassion – Lunar New Year Gifts for Disadvantaged Students and Agent Orange Victims.”

The campaign was implemented in 113 out of 114 communes, wards, and special administrative zones across the city, excluding Bach Long Vi Special Zone. Thanks to close coordination among relevant agencies and the enthusiastic participation of teachers, students, parents, and local communities, the campaign achieved significant and practical results.

More than 700 educational institutions citywide took part in the campaign, including preschools, primary schools, lower and upper secondary schools, as well as continuing education and vocational training centers.

Although preschools were not among the primary target groups for the campaign, many of them proactively participated through activities suited to their specific circumstances and capacities.
