TCP Group partners with Vietnam National Union of Students to launch water conservation project

The project is meant to raise awareness and encourage proactive engagement among young people on clean water issues, while contributing to the protection of water resources and the preservation of a green, clean, and sustainable environment in Vietnam.

The signing ceremony was held in Hanoi this month with the participation of representatives from TCP Group, TCP Vietnam, the VNUS Central Committee, leaders of Vietnamese Students Development and Support Center, as well as representatives from relevant ministries and agencies, universities, and community partners.

The event marked an important milestone, inaugurating a three-year collaborative journey aimed at raising awareness, fostering a spirit of action, and gradually developing practical solutions for water conservation in Vietnam.

At present, Vietnam is facing major challenges related to water pollution, which have serious implications for quality of life and, in particular, public health.

This issue has become increasingly urgent and requires priority attention through concrete actions underpinned by long-term, strategic solutions, with the most critical factor being the collective participation of the entire community.

The project will be implemented through a holistic approach, harmoniously integrating communication and education with community-based action initiatives.

In the area of communication and education, the program focuses on raising awareness among students and the wider community about the vital role of water resources in public health, daily life, and socio-economic development, thereby fostering both individual and collective responsibility for water protection.

In parallel, the project encourages and promotes practical, action-oriented initiatives initiated and led by young people and students, aimed at reducing pollution, promoting green lifestyles, and fostering responsible water use.

The project also seeks to establish a youth network dedicated to clean water action, strengthening connections among organizations, educational institutions, and local communities in implementing sustainable environmental protection activities.

Notably, the program places strong emphasis on incubating and supporting technological innovations and circular water management models proposed by students, contributing to the restoration, regeneration, and efficient use of water resources.

The 'Community Awareness & Action Project on Water Conservation' is expected to generate clear and meaningful social impact by directly engaging young people – a demographic group that plays a critical role in shaping community lifestyles and water-use behaviors.

Nguyen Minh Triet, standing secretary of the Central Youth Union and president of the Vietnam National Union of Students, said the union views raising students' awareness and action on water protection as an urgent task, aiming to equip young people with essential knowledge and inspire responsible behavior and practical initiatives for sustainable water use.

Meanwhile, TCP Vietnam country director Nguyen Quang Hien Huy affirmed the company's long-term commitment to the project, emphasizing that water security underpins community health and prosperity and is central to building a sustainable future.

The project's initiatives are aligned with United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 6 (SDG 6) on clean water and sanitation, thereby contributing actively to Vietnam's efforts to ensure water security, optimize resource use, and protect water environments against the impacts of urbanization and climate change.

It also emphasizes the role of education, science and technology, and proactive youth participation in addressing the nation's critical issues.
