DNHN - CapitaLand Development (CLD) has launched the “Steps of Love” campaign in collaboration with the Binh Duong Red Cross Society.
The programme aims to raise funds to upgrade the kitchen at Thanh Tuyen Kindergarten (Branch 2) in Dau Tieng District, Binh Duong Province, benefiting over 80 preschoolers at the centre. The campaign comprises a virtual walk and a physical walkathon. Through these initiatives, CLD has pledged to contribute US$30,000 (over VND700 million) upon achieving a combined total of 100 million steps from the virtual walk and 10 million steps from the walkathon.
“Steps of Love” is part of CapitaLand’s efforts to affirm its commitment to sustainable development and forging meaningful connections within the community in Vietnam, where it has been present for three decades since 1994. As part of the programme, the virtual walk will take place from 24 February to 24 March, while the physical walkathon will be held on 31 March at Binh Duong New City, Binh Duong Province. Participants can choose between a 2km or 5km distance and are welcome to run or walk alongside their friends, family, and pets. The event is open to all ages and fitness levels.
“This event is not just a physical challenge, but also a meaningful way to give back to the community,” said Ronald Tay, CEO of CapitaLand Development (Vietnam), the organising representative. “Through our trusted partner, the Binh Duong Red Cross Society, we were able to identify the needs of the beneficiaries and the support required on the ground. As CapitaLand marks 30 years in Vietnam, we hope to rally the community to make a positive difference together. Collectively, we can enhance lives and uplift the community.”

“In Vietnam, we are committed to building a better future for children through our support for education and social welfare. Since 2007, the company and our philanthropic arm, CapitaLand Hope Foundation, have upgraded facilities at four schools in Phu Tho, Hung Yen, and Long An provinces, creating a safe learning environment for students and improving their access to education through initiatives such as book donations, scholarships, and nutrition programmes. We look forward to inspiring more young lives and laying the foundation for their future success.”
Nguyen Thi Le Trinh, Member of the Central Committee of the Vietnam Red Cross Society and Chairwoman of the Binh Duong Red Cross Society, shared, “We are honoured to partner with CLD on the “Steps of Love” programme in Binh Duong Province. The Binh Duong Red Cross Society has always been committed to humanitarian activities and supporting those in need. We appreciate CLD’s contributions to Binh Duong Province, especially the construction of a semi-boarding kitchen for children at Thanh Tuyen Kindergarten (Branch 2).”
