Vietcombank announced on March 12 that it has partnered with Tien Phong Newspaper and local authorities to fund the construction of six gratitude houses for veteran families facing hardship in Dong Thanh and Cu Chi communes, Ho Chi Minh City. The initiative is part of the Red Sunday 2026 programme led by Tien Phong Newspaper, with Vietcombank contributing VND600 million to support the project.
The effort aims to recognize and assist those who have served the nation, reinforcing social responsibility and community support. The donation forms part of a broader series of social welfare activities that Vietcombank has been implementing in Ho Chi Minh City over recent years.
Le Hoang Tung, Deputy CEO of Vietcombank, said at the event: “Honouring the past is not only an act of gratitude but also a foundation for building a better future for the community. For Vietcombank, actively participating in social welfare and charitable activities is not only a corporate responsibility but also a heartfelt commitment shared by our employees across the entire system.”
In addition to funding six new homes, Vietcombank has allocated approximately VND350 billion over five years to various community support programmes in Ho Chi Minh City. In early March alone, the bank launched several initiatives in northwest Ho Chi Minh City with a total budget nearing VND3 billion. These included presenting 145 gift packages to children from military families facing financial difficulties and providing 300 gift packages to families of young men preparing for military service across several communes.
Further contributions from Vietcombank include funding for 11 “Great Solidarity Houses,” sponsoring three STEM classrooms valued at VND10 billion, providing VND1 billion for medical equipment, and distributing 200 gift packages to families in Hoc Mon and Cu Chi districts.
Through this collaboration between Tien Phong Newspaper and Vietcombank, deteriorating homes belonging to veteran families will soon be rebuilt into safer residences. The ongoing partnership highlights continued efforts toward supporting vulnerable communities within Ho Chi Minh City.
