CapitaLand (Vietnam) has provided VND50 million ($2,500) and organised a Swimming Day event at Van Thanh Park Swimming Pool for 65 street children from the Holy Rosary Centre in Ho Chi Minh City.

Yip Hoong Mun, deputy CEO of CapitaLand Vietnam, said: “It is our company’s honour to organise this event for the street children of Vietnam from the Holy Rosary Centre in Ho Chi Minh City. When we grow on the business front, we must not forget to give back to the local community through our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities.”

In May CapitaLand also committed VND2.2 billion for the construction of the CapitaLand Nang Yen Primary Hope School, situated within a remote and mountainous region of the Thanh Ba commune in northern Phu Tho province.

Headquartered and listed in Singapore, CapitaLand’s core businesses in real estate, hospitality and real estate financial services are focused in growth cities in Asia-Pacific and Europe. The company's real estate and hospitality portfolio, which includes homes, offices, shopping malls, serviced residences and mixed developments, spans more than 110 cities in over 20 countries.

CapitaLand has identified Vietnam as its fourth pillar of growth after the core markets of Singapore, China and Australia. The real estate market is supported by the country’s strong economic growth, rapid urbanisation, and a young and growing population.
