The funds, donated by more than 300 domestic and foreign businesses and individuals, have been used to construct and repair accommodations for, present gifts and provide free healthcare to AO victims. Over the past years, the Association has launched many programs, especially documentaries, which made a strong impact on the community. Through the programs, overseas Vietnamese and foreign friends have opportunities to learn more about consequences of dioxin and give their support to AO victims.
