Support programs assist disadvantaged ethnic minority communities

Support programs were implemented to aid disadvantaged ethnic minority communities, including Khmer students, in preparation for the upcoming school year in the Mekong Delta region. On August 14, the Internal Security Department, alongside the Can Tho City Police, the An Ninh Commune People’s Committee, and various sponsors, organized a program to distribute gifts and bicycles to ethnic minority households.

This event marked the 81st anniversary of the creation of the People’s Public Security Forces, falling between August 19, 1945, and August 19, 2026. Representatives from the collaborating agencies distributed 100 gifts and 100 bicycles, valued at over VND200 million (US$7,649) in total, to underprivileged Khmer students in the area.

These gifts were generously donated by organizations, businesses, and benefactors from Ho Chi Minh City and other regions. Earlier, a delegation from the Internal Security Department, alongside local businesses and benefactors, in collaboration with the Vinh Long Provincial Police and the Ngai Tu Commune People’s Committee, presented 100 gift packages and 100 bicycles, also totaling VND200 million, to disadvantaged Khmer students in Vinh Long Province ahead of the 2026-2027 school year commencement.
