At the meeting, Maricelle Regino-Borja, National Director of Habitat Vietnam, said that the organization plans to expand its housing construction project for the poor in Vietnam (Vietnam Big Build), which was implemented since 2018 in the provinces: Dong Thap, Tien Giang, Phu Tho. In 2024, the Project expects to construct houses for 25 ethnic minority families in Bat Xat district, Lao Cai province. The Vietnam Big Build 2024 is expected to attract the participation of more than 200 Vietnamese and international volunteers, providing an opportunity to strengthen connections and cultural exchanges between young people in Vietnam and other countries.

In 2024, Habitat Vietnam also plans to organize the National Housing Forum in Hanoi. The event aims to gather delegates from many countries to find solutions to affordable housing issues. The representative of Habitat Vietnam looks forward to receiving VUFO's support in fundraising, organizing, and implementing the ideas.

Nguyen Ngoc Hung, Vice President of the Viet Nam Union of Friendship Organizations, said VUFO supports initiatives to provide resources to support Vietnam and promote Vietnam's image to international friends. VUFO agreed to coordinate with Habitat Vietnam in connecting with localities and implementing upcoming activities.
