The International CARE Vietnam has provided assistance for 5,000 households hit by last year’s floods in the southern province of An Giang by the end of this March.
Implemented since the last October, the emergency aid project worth 308,000 USD provided the local flood victims with foodstuff and clean water, restored means of support and repaired toilets in the districts of An Phu, Chau Phu and Tinh Bien.
It has supplied 217 tonnes of rice, 220 boats, over 4,900 water containers and 2,600 life jackets to affected households.
Through CARE in Vietnam, an Australian non-governmental organisation has also channelled 36,000 USD in non-refundable aid to a project on community-based disaster management.
The project will help improve capacity of local disaster prevention systems and raise public awareness of coping with climate change and natural disasters in Chau Phu and An Phu districts from January until June.
