HCM City (VNA) – An art programme in response to the 2023 Month for The Poor will take place in Ho Chi Minh City on October 30 in a bid to mobilise resources to care for needy individuals and families, and those affected by epidemics and natural disasters.

As heard at an October 24 press conference, the programme, the 22nd of its kind, will stage outstanding cultural and artistic performances at the Ho Chi Minh City Television Theatre. It will introduce the fundraising efforts serving the city’s Fund for the Poor, exemplary models and successful practices in social welfare, and success stories of escaping poverty. Talk-shows with groups and individuals who have made significant contributions to social welfare will also be organised.

According to Pham Minh Tuan, Vice President of the municipal Vietnam Fatherland Front (VFF) Committee, the programme is co-organised by the committee’s board for the mobilisation, management and use of the fund and HCM City Television.

The board aims to raise 40 billion VND (1.628 million USD) in the Month for The Poor in addition to more than 125 billion VND earmarked by all levels of the VFF chapters across the city. The funds raised will be utilised to care for the needy in the upcoming lunar New Year holiday, build charity houses, provide livelihoods, and grant scholarships, among activities.

The board raised more than 40.3 billion VND for the fund from last year’s edition of the programme./.
