This will be the 16th community cultural house sponsored by Sacombank.

The remaining ten cultural houses are expected to be built, completed, and inaugurated to serve the people in the next phase.

The “Steps for the Community” program has been launched nationwide by Sacombank and the Vietnam Youth Federation since 2020 to promote physical exercise and sports to enhance physical and mental health. It also aims to promote the pioneering and volunteer spirit for the community among Sacombank employees and the youth nationwide, in accompanying the ethnic minority communities in Vietnam and preserving and promoting traditional cultural values.
