Instead of being discarded, old clothes can be given to those who need them. Beyond the message of giving and receiving, Light Charity and the LightOne journey aim to offer a little support to children with leukemia through the recipient organization, the Giấc Mơ Đôi Chân Thiên Thần Fund.
Light Charity is an organization founded by two young, successful entrepreneurs: Hồ Đức Hải (CEO of the Má Hải bánh mì chain) and Tạ Minh Tuấn (Chairman of TMT Group and YUP Education). Joining the organization are dynamic young people, young entrepreneurs, office workers, and students who have a passion for charity and a 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 and help people in difficult circumstances improve their lives.
- Angel Feet Dream Foundation
Did you know that child patients under 10 usually need monthly blood transfusions, which can cost VND 1–5 million per child per month? This is a large sum for many families in difficult circumstances. LightOne hopes to provide timely support, giving more parents time to prepare financially and plan more proactively for the future. Donations are sent to the receiving organization, the Giấc Mơ Đôi Chân Thiên Thân Fund.
Giấc Mơ Đôi Chân Thiên Thần is a fund that supports people with disabilities in developing themselves and confidently integrating into the community through training programs and social activities sponsored by YUP! and the Hồ Chí Minh City Education Newspaper.

- The LightOne 1,000,000+ Garments of Love Journey: Sharing Love
The LightOne journey is a charitable activity that aims to deliver clothes donors no longer use to the right recipients. Recipients will no longer feel that they are receiving charity, as every item at the event is exchanged for VND 2,000 per item.
Life will be better when people know how to give and receive
- How can I donate clothing to charity?
There are now approximately 79 locations accepting clothing donations 24/7 across all districts of Ho Chi Minh City. Please see the link for more information about the donation point nearest you:https://goo.gl/pKrSnL
