The projects are within the framework of co-operation between Coca-Cola Vietnam, the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-HABITAT) and the Center for Research Family Health and Community (CEFACOM).
UN-HABITAT will spend VND 3.2 billion (US$153,000) to build pipelines to supply clean water to poor households in Cam Ranh, Khanh Hoa province, which will benefit 3,900 people.
The remaining VND 2.8 billion (US$133,000) will be invested in CEFACOM’s ‘Clean Water for Communities’ program in Hanoi, Da Nang and Ho Chi Minh City to provide a clean water source for more than 4,500 people.
Coca-Cola Vietnam has also been co-operating with the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) since 2007 and provided over VND 24 billion (US$114) for a project to restore the Dong Thap Muoi wetland ecosystem at Tram Chim Nation Park and another one on ecosystem adaptation to climate change in Ben Tre province.
