The organization aims at mobilizing about US$230.8 million, a figure higher than last year’s allocation of around US$200 million to humanitarian activities, said the organization’s vice president and secretary general, Nguyen Hai Anh.
In 2025, the “Tet of Compassion” program supported more than 2.6 million people with over US$51.8 million, while the “Humanitarian Month” raised approximately US$30.2 million, nearly 200% of its target. This enabled the construction or repair of 1,578 Red Cross homes and supported the livelihoods of numerous families.
Hai Anh also highlighted that, in the areas of disaster prevention, response, and emergency relief, the Red Cross assisted more than 513,000 people, reaffirming its vital role in times of greatest need.
Specialized humanitarian programs, such as those focused on child nutrition, community health care, and voluntary blood donation, also achieved positive results, with more than 1.75 million units of blood collected, he noted.
Furthermore, he highlighted the results of the “65 Years of Vietnam-Cuba Solidarity” campaign in support of the Cuban people, which attracted more than 2.1 million contributions totaling over $25 million, ten times the initial target, demonstrating the Vietnamese people’s long-standing tradition of international solidarity.
