On December 16, 2025, MCNV, in collaboration with the Phu Mo People’s Committee, provided emergency relief totaling 195 million VND to 130 households in Phu Tam and Phu Dong villages (Phu Mo Commune, Phu Yen Province). This support is designed to empower local residents to procure seedlings, livestock, agricultural supplies, and essential commodities, enabling them to stabilize their lives and resume production following the disaster.

The 130 recipients include poor and near-poor households, as well as those in exceptionally difficult circumstances. These two villages are among 15 areas covered by the “Boosting Income and Jobs for Poor Ethnic Women in Dong Xuan District” project (BIJPO). The region was severely impacted by historic flooding and Typhoon No. 13 in late November 2025.

The disaster left a devastating trail of loss across the project areas, including Phu Mo, Xuan Lanh, Xuan Phuoc, and Dong Xuan communes. Beyond the tragic loss of five lives, the calamity caused extensive damage to property and livelihoods. In Phu Dong village, approximately 50% of homes suffered roof damage or structural destruction. Phu Tam village, particularly the areas along the Ky Lo River, was hit hard by widespread flooding and landslides. Across both villages, acacia plantations were leveled, rice paddies were buried under debris, and livestock perished in large numbers.
Homes suffered roof damages.
These 130 households are part of the 1,110 beneficiaries of the BIJPO project (2022–2025). Through this relief effort, MCNV hopes to provide the necessary momentum for these families to overcome their current hardships, restore their livelihoods, and rebuild their lives in the wake of the disaster./.
