Donated 836 water tanks to people in mountainous areas affected by typhoon Yagi

Recently, 836 1,000-liter water tanks were donated to people in mountainous communes of Lao Cai province affected by storm No. 3 (Yagi) in 2024, contributing to improving sanitation conditions and ensuring living needs after natural disasters.

This activity is within the framework of the program "Emergency support and early recovery of clean water and sanitation for provinces affected by super typhoon No. 3 - Yagi " sponsored by the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), implemented according to Plan No. 204/TTNS dated July 22, 2025 of the National Center for Clean Water and Rural Environmental Sanitation.

Donate water tanks to households affected by natural disasters.

The program is organized by UNICEF in coordination with the National Center for Rural Water Supply and Environmental Sanitation, the Center for Agricultural Extension and Services of Lao Cai province, and local authorities.

The beneficiaries are households that suffered heavy damage to their domestic water supply systems in the communes of Cao Son, Pha Long, Ta Cu Ty, Bac Ha, Ban Lien, Coc Lau and Bao Nhai - which were severely affected by landslides after the storm's circulation.

Specifically, in June and July 2025, the program implemented two equipment distribution rounds. Each household was provided with a 1,000-liter water tank, along with accompanying installation accessories, helping people proactively store domestic water in conditions of interrupted or polluted water sources, contributing to improving resilience to natural disasters and climate change. All water tanks were sponsored by the Irish people through UNICEF.

In addition to providing equipment, people are also given detailed instructions by technical staff of Son Ha Xanh Group Joint Stock Company (the product supplier) on how to install, use and maintain water tanks according to standards to ensure hygiene and long-term efficiency.

Instruct people on technical installation and use of water tanks to ensure safety and efficiency.

Ms. Dang Thi Thanh Huyen, representative of the National Center for Clean Water and Rural Environmental Sanitation, shared: We hope that people will use the supplied water tanks for the right purposes, ensuring the best service for their daily needs, especially during the period of clean water shortage after natural disasters.

The close coordination between domestic authorities and international organizations such as UNICEF has demonstrated a sense of responsibility and joined hands to support the community in overcoming difficulties and stabilizing their lives.

All tanks are funded by the Irish people through UNICEF – the United Nations Children's Fund with the mission of protecting children's rights and promoting the comprehensive development of children.
