DAVA receives a 2013 UNICEF ZEROaward
A 2013 UNICEF ZEROaward for Special Achievement for Children's Rights has been given to the Da Nang Association of Agent Orange Victims (DAVA). The association is one of three recipients who were recognised for their humanitarian efforts to fulfil children's rights and reduce the number of vulnerable children to zero.
This is the first time in their 50 years of working in Viet Nam that UNICEF has launched a fundraising platform for its efforts in the country.
The UNICEF ZEROawards is an initiative of Believe in ZERO, a global UNICEF campaign launched in Viet Nam. It aims to reduce the number of preventable child deaths to ZERO, the number of exploited or abused children to ZERO, and the number of children deprived of clean water or denied access to school to ZERO.
