From a joint directive to a widespread movement

On October 9, Pham Le Phu, general director of EVNNPT, a subsidiary of state utility Vietnam Electricity (EVN), and the executive committee of the EVNNPT Trade Union issued Joint Directive No. 608/CTLT-CĐEVNNPT-EVNNPT regarding internal social welfare activities, raising funds for disaster relief, and assistance to the Cuban people.

Accordingly, all employees across the corporation were encouraged to contribute at least one day’s salary, which would be transferred to the EVNNPT Trade Union for reporting and allocation.

This directive was not only a call for material support but also a rallying cry for community responsibility and stronger bonds between trade unions and management at all levels. Immediately after its launch, units across EVNNPT actively responded to the campaign, widely disseminating information and motivating their members to donate.

Spreading human kindness and EVN/EVNNPT culture

By 4 p.m. on October 15, the EVNNPT Trade Union had received over VND3.4 billion ($129,052) in donations, a reflection of the collective spirit and empathy of all employees across the corporation. While the minimum contribution was just one day's salary, it carried profound meaning: a gesture of care, responsibility, and shared hope.

In reality, this support has helped many EVNNPT employees and their families quickly repair storm-damaged homes and stabilize their lives. Beyond material aid, the heartfelt visits and words of encouragement have become an invaluable source of spiritual support for those in hardship.

This internal social welfare campaign is more than just a charity movement. It stands as a vivid reflection of EVN/EVNNPT's deep-rooted human values and corporate culture.

The image of “transmission soldiers” braving storms to ensure the current of electricity, while extending a helping hand to those in need, powerfully illustrates Vietnam’s enduring tradition of “loving others like loving ourselves.”

This initiative has also helped strengthen the spirit of unity and mutual trust among EVNNPT’s employees. Each donation and act of kindness was not only of material value but also a powerful message of humanity: EVNNPT not only transmits electricity - it transmits compassion, social responsibility, and faith in a brighter future.
