“ExxonMobil is working to understand and support the needs of Vietnam communities especially in the central area where we operate,” said Greg Smith, president and country manager of ExxonMobil Vietnam. “We seek projects that have a lasting impact and are pleased that our contributions to VinaCapital and Operation Smile Vietnam have benefited more than a million individuals in Central and Northern region to date.”

Funds for Survive to Thrive will be used for lifesaving medical equipment at four Southwestern healthcare centers in Quang Nam province, including Northern mountainous regional hospital, and Dong Giang, Tay Giang and Nam Giang district hospitals. These hospitals are located in the poorest districts bordering Laos and are some of the poorest in Vietnam. This is the eighth consecutive year that ExxonMobil has funded VinaCapital’s children healthcare programs in the Central region, with contributions totaling $550,000.
