On January 30, 2026, Hoavava International Agent Orange Foundation (HOAVAVA), in collaboration with the Ho Chi Minh City Association for Victims of Agent Orange/Dioxin, solemnly organized the 2025 Annual Review and Appreciation Ceremony for activities supporting victims of Agent Orange/Dioxin.
The event was held to express sincere gratitude to individuals, organizations, and sponsors—especially HOAVAVA members—who have consistently accompanied and contributed to humanitarian efforts for victims of Agent Orange/Dioxin. Their enduring support and commitment serve as a strong driving force in sustaining and expanding these meaningful initiatives.
In his remarks, Mr. Kim Dae Jong, President of HOAVAVA, emphasized that the wounds left by war do not easily fade over time. The consequences of Agent Orange extend beyond individuals, affecting families and multiple generations. Therefore, long-term commitment and sustained community responsibility are essential.
According to Mr. Kim Dae Jong, thanks to the solidarity and support of various organizations and individuals, many victims have received medical examinations, treatment, livelihood assistance, and improvements in their quality of life. More importantly, beyond material support, these efforts help victims regain confidence, hope, and the strength to move forward in life.
President Kim reaffirmed that transparency, accountability, and effectiveness are the core values guiding HOAVAVA’s operations. The organization is committed to ensuring that every contribution from donors and members is used for its intended purpose and delivered to the right beneficiaries in a practical and sustainable manner.
During the ceremony, the Organizing Committee presented commemorative awards to outstanding individuals in recognition of their significant contributions to supporting victims of Agent Orange/Dioxin throughout the year.
Notably, HOAVAVA facilitated connections between sponsors and the Ho Chi Minh City Association for Victims of Agent Orange/Dioxin to sign periodic sponsorship agreements. This milestone marks an important step toward establishing a long-term, stable, and sustainable support mechanism for victims.
HOAVAVA sincerely thanks all members, partners, and benefactors who continue to stand with us in this humanitarian mission. Your trust and collaboration not only provide tangible support to those in need but also strengthen the spirit of social responsibility and international solidarity between Vietnam and the global community.
HOAVAVA remains committed to continuous efforts, meaningful partnerships, and sustained action toward a more compassionate and sustainable future for victims of Agent Orange/Dioxin.
