ExxonMobil uplifts communities in Vietnam with continued support

Overview

Hanoi, Vietnam – ExxonMobil continues to drive positive impact for communities in Vietnam, contributing a total contribution of US $45,000 in 2024 to support programs ranging from STEM education to women’s empowerment, healthcare and storm relief.

ExxonMobil Exploration and Production Vietnam Limited (ExxonMobil Vietnam) donated US $10,000 to Teach For Vietnam (TFV) to develop extracurricular programs that focus on key competencies such as science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) skills, self-awareness and connectedness. Nearly 300 students from three secondary schools in the Que Son district of Quang Nam province took part in hands-on activities and real-world projects that promoted teamwork, problem-solving, research and self-awareness through the new Design for Change framework.

Additionally, the funding allowed TFV to roll out an upskilling project titled, "Effective Application of Generative AI in Teaching”, which benefited 79 teachers and staff at primary and secondary schools in the district. This initiative was conducted in collaboration with the Que Son Department of Education and Training. These teachers along with TFV's fellows will lead the AI application in teaching for all teachers in the district in the next phase of the project in 2025.

In 2024, we also supported a new community investment program by the VinaCapital Foundation (VCF) named “Brighter Path Girls’ Club” with a contribution of US $9,000. This program has helped ethnic minority girls in four mountainous districts of Quang Nam province: Nam Tra My, Bac Tra My, Hiep Duc and Phuoc Son. It equipped them with skills in four areas: sexual and reproductive health, leadership, financial literacy and legal rights.

To support those affected by the Yagi typhoon in Cao Bang province, we donated US $15,000 to VCF’s Care and Share program and worked with Cao Bang People’s Committee and Fatherland Front to help provide basic needs to 600 households in Bao Lam district soon after the typhoon struck northern Vietnam.

In early October, critical medical supplies, such as oxygen generators, examination lamps, blood pressure monitors and cervical collars, were delivered to medical facilities in Cao Bang as the second phase of the support program. The next phase will focus on supporting the recovery of medical and school facilities, and providing free medicine and clean water system for those affected by the Yagi typhoon.

To celebrate the 35th anniversary of Operation Smile Vietnam (OSV), we contributed US $11,000 to support OSV’s oral care mission. A total of 2,500 students from three primary schools in Son Tinh district of Quang Ngai province will receive various dental care services, such as check-ups, appropriate consultations, treatment, medication and dental hygiene education, with aims to help address issues such as dental diseases, tooth decay and crooked teeth, amongst primary students in rural areas of Central Vietnam.

ExxonMobil Vietnam has been recognized for its continued contributions to the local communities in Vietnam, receiving the Corporate Social Responsibility Recognition Award from the American Chamber of Commerce Hanoi for the ninth time in 2024.
