During more than 10 years of operation in Vietnam, Thriive program has provided machines and equipment for more than 150 social enterprises, most of which have grown to a larger size including many branded businesses such as TOP - A distribution limited liability company and Brand of Kissy Masks, Viba banana household.

With the spirit of solidarity, Thriive businesses still keep in touch with the Program Coordination Committee of the UEB over the years and are ready to participate in social activities to help other social businesses.

Although the campaign took place in a short time, from May 5^th to May 16^th 2020, gifts were promptly given to 99 disabled laborers at 11 Thriive enterprises, 40 patients at the National Institute of Hematology and Blood Transfusion, 33 disadvantaged individuals at the Vocational Training Center for Employment of Disabled Children in Vietnam and Labor Union of the UEB with the purpose of supporting disadvantaged students and many other businesses.

Ms. Binh, a handicapped worker at Trai Tim Hong shared: “My family has 4 people. My husband is also a disabled person. We make ends meet by selling toothpicks. I have worked at Trai Tim Hong enterprise for more than 3 years with a monthly salary of about 3 million. However, during the Covid-19 period, I have to quit my job. My income is reduced because of company closing. For me and many other disabled people, Thriive's gifts including 500,000 VND each person, vegetables and rice used in half of month are not only a financial support but also a great encouragement”.

Hopefully in the upcoming future, Thriive Hanoi, Center for Economic Development Studies, UEB and Thriive businesses will continue organizing more meaningful and practical charity campaign like this.
