Delegates at the ground-breaking ceremony for the bridge in Tuyen Quang Province on September 19.
The reinforced concrete bridge will be 22 metres long, 3.5 metres wide, and 7.5 metres high, with a budget of more than VND 1.2 billion (approximately USD 46,500). Garment 10 Corporation is contributing VND 800 million (approximately USD 31,000).
At the ceremony, Dtinews' Deputy Editor-in-Chief Nguyen Xuan Toan expressed gratitude to readers and benefactors, highlighting Garment 10’s consistent support. Of the 32 bridges built through Dtinews' charity programme, eight have been co-funded by Garment 10.
Garment 10 Deputy General Director Pham Bich Hong said the company views social responsibility as central to its mission. “This is the eighth bridge we have sponsored with Dtinews, and we hope it will provide safer travel and better opportunities for students and residents in remote areas,” she said.
People travel on the old makeshift bridge in Cao Bo Commune.
Cao Bo Commune Party Secretary Nguyen Van Chau said the project fulfils a long-standing wish of villagers, replacing a deteriorated makeshift bridge that posed safety risks, especially during floods.
On this occasion, Dtinews awarded 20 scholarships worth VND 500,000 (approximately USD 19) each to disadvantaged students, while Garment 10 donated gifts of cash, blankets, and mooncakes to 20 struggling households.
