BIDV announces a donation of VND25 billion to the “computers and telecommunications services for students” program – a humane program responding to the Prime Minister’s call for equipping online learning devices for disadvantaged students in localities that are under social distancing according to Directive 16.

This donation is under the general program of the banking industry. At the launching ceremony, Mr. Dao Minh Tu - Standing Deputy Governor of the State Bank of Vietnam represented the banking industry to present 100,000 computers to the program.

Due to the complicated development of the Covid-19 pandemic, many localities implementing social distancing under the Government’s Directive 16 must organize online teaching and learning. For families with difficult circumstances, arranging devices for online learning for their children is a huge challenge. The “computers and telecommunications services for students” program is implemented in the spirit of the Prime Minister of "not going to school but not discontinuing learning", aimed to support students in pandemic-hit areas to study online seamlessly and effectively.

In addition to the timely support for the disadvantaged students during the outbreak of the pandemic, this program has also a long-term effect as it contributes to Internet coverage, improving people's knowledge, and developing digital society...

As a leading financial institution in Vietnam, BIDV has implemented practical and effective activities including business support and social security programs such as “Donation to Covid-19 fund”, “Accompanying the health sector to overcome the pandemic”, emergency support for localities to fight against the pandemic. Total fund donated by BIDV from the beginning of 2021 is more than VND230 billion.
