Hung said the chapter will urge businesses, agencies and philanthropists in and outside the locality to raise fund for the poor as well as promptly disburse funding for the construction of houses for the poor.
It will also partner with its member units and Vietnam Bank for Social Policies to offer preferential loans and farming techniques to the poor and ethnic minority groups for agricultural and rural development.
As part of efforts with the Vietnam Red Cross Society and medical staff, free health check-ups and medicines will be given to ethnic minorities living in remote and mountainous areas.
