In order to ensure that all senior citizens can enjoy a warm Lunar New Year Festival (Tet), the administration of Hoa Binh and the Vietnam Association of the Elderly (VAE) at all levels in the province have implemented many practical activities to care for them.



Representatives from the Association of the Elderly in Cao Phong district present gifts to the elderly in Tien Lam village, Bac Phong commune, on the occasion of the Lunar New Year 2024.


In Kim Boi district, the district Association of the Elderly has advised the management board of the fund for the elderly of the district to build a plan to present 300 gift packages worth 200,000 VND (8.16 USD) each to needy senior citizens in the locality, and mobilise resources from local businesses to care for the elderly.

Quach Dinh Hanh, head of the Representative Board of the district Association of the Elderly, said that the activities will complete by January 21. However, the association will continue to raise fund for the elderly facing difficulties in the locality.

Currently, Hoa Binh is home to more than 15,000 senior citizens eligible for social support, including 4,400 lonely and disabled people at the age of under 80, and 11,000 over 80 years old.

The VAE at all levels in Hoa Binh aims to present nearly 3,000 Tet gift packages worth 200,000-500,000 VND each to local senior citizens, while coordinating with the provincial Red Cross Society as well as localities to provide support to the elderly facing difficulties with support of charity funds and donors.

The association will also organise greeting celebration for the elderly reaching the ages of 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, 100, and over 100.

Alongside, it will coordinate with localities to hold cultural and art exchanges as well as sports events for the elderly, while promoting the role of Intergenerational Self-Help Clubs in caring for the elderly.

Bui Tuan Hai, President of the Hoa Binh chapter of the VAE, said that the association will continue to conduct activities to care for the elderly, while continuing advising the local Party Organisation and administration in implementing policies for this group of residents, thus encouraging the elderly to engage in Party building and socio-economic development in the locality.
