HCM CITY — Sun Life Vietnam has donated VNĐ1.8 billion ($73,155) to support residents severely impacted by Typhoon Yagi in northern Việt Nam.

The donation will be provided through the Vietnam Red Cross Society to support disaster relief efforts, including providing clean water and essential supplies and contributing to the rebuilding efforts in high-impact areas.

Luc Nhon Ly, CEO of Sun Life Vietnam, said: “The challenges many families are facing after the storm and floods remain significant. Through this support, we want to bring hope and motivation for people to recover and rebuild their lives. Sun Life is committed to standing by our clients and community, working towards building a brighter future for everyone.”

Sun Life Vietnam will coordinate with the Red Cross and its partners to ensure that the assistance reaches the right people quickly and effectively.

Lương Thị Hồng Thúy, board member and director of external relations and development at Vietnam Red Cross, said: “We are deeply grateful for the timely support from Sun Life Vietnam. With this donation, we will be able to help about 500 households to help them overcome this difficult period as soon as possible.”

Sun Life Vietnam has also started a support fund for the company's employees and advisors affected by the storm and flooding. Sun Life Vietnam has a wide network of advisors and offices throughout Hải Phòng City, and Quảng Ninh, Yên Bái, Vĩnh Phúc, Bắc Giang and Phú Thọ provinces, some of which are in areas heavily impacted by storms and floods.

The support will ensure that they have necessary resources to overcome the challenges they are facing. Sun Life Vietnam has also promptly carried out procedures to pay insurance benefits to the family of a customer affected during the recent storm. — VNS
