Join the Solidarity Vietnam campaign to provide asthma treatment for the poor

To mark the 2010 Year of the Lung and the 90th anniversary of The Union, we have chosen to raise money for a project that will provide asthma inhalers for the poor in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Online donations made between 15 July and 1 November 2010 will be allocated to this campaign, which will provide quality-assured essential asthma medicines for 600 low-income patients for one year.

Your gift makes a difference: A gift of 33 euros (or equivalent) provides one patient with an entire year of asthma treatment.
