Instead of being discarded, old clothes can be given to those who need them. Beyond giving and receiving, unused clothing can create an annual source of funding to support people less fortunate.
Light Charity is an organization founded by two young, successful entrepreneurs, Hồ Đức Hải and Tạ Minh Tuấn. Its members include dynamic young people, young entrepreneurs, office workers, and students with the simple desire to “make Vietnam a better place to live.” Light Charity operates according to CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) standards. The 1,000,000+ Garments of Love program was created to bring charitable activities closer to the community.
What is the “1,000,000+ Pieces of Clothing with Love” program?
This charitable program aims to transfer clothing no longer used by donors to the right recipients. It helps people in need experience the joy of buying rather than receiving charity, which is why all items in the 1.000.000+ Clothes of Love program are exchanged for 2.000 VND each. The event also aims to raise funds for children with leukemia.
Beyond their meaningful social purpose, Light Charity and the 1,000,000+ Items of Clothing with Love festival also hope to convey a message about humanity in the culture of giving and receiving.

A few things to keep in mind before donating clothing to charity
- Wash clothes thoroughly and fold them neatly before donating them.
- Donated clothing should still be wearable, not too worn or faded.
- Please sort clothing by gender and age group
Taking just a little time to prepare makes your donated items much more meaningful. Light Charity thanks you for joining us in sharing sincere and practical care.
For any questions about the program, please contact Mr. Tuấn: 0904 878 648. The organizing committee will accept charitable donations through April 7, 2018.
