Strong communities grow when people come together to address meaningful needs. From helping children pursue their education to supporting access to essential healthcare, community initiatives can create opportunities and make a lasting difference in people’s lives.
Across Vietnam and Brunei, Aboitiz Foods, through Gold Coin, continues to put responsibility into action through initiatives that support education, community well-being, and collective responsibility.
Supporting Dreams and Opportunities in Vietnam
For children facing difficult circumstances, having the right support and access to education can make a meaningful difference in their journey toward a brighter future.
On September 19, Gold Coin Feedmill Binh Duong participated in the second Ho Chi Minh City Mid-Autumn Festival and Scholarship Award Ceremony, helping bring together educational support and a celebration for children and families.
Through the “Overcoming Difficulties to Excel in Education” program, Aboitiz Foods, through the Gold Coin Feedmill Binh Duong, awarded scholarships to 350 children and distributed over 800 Mid-Autumn Festival gift packages. The program also provided Mid-Autumn Festival gifts to children at SOS Children’s Village Da Lat to further support their studies.
The scholarship awarding was done in partnership with Ho Chi Minh City Social Work and Vocational Education Center for Youth, the Binh Duong Social Work Center – Children’s Protection Fund, and the Social Protection and Social Work Center.
Advancing SDGs 4 (Quality Education) and 10 (Reduced Inequalities), this corporate social responsibility initiative reflects Aboitiz Foods’ belief in the importance of helping children overcome barriers and pursue their potential to shape a better future.

A single act of generosity can help meet an urgent need. In Brunei, community members and employeescame together on September 9 for a blood donation drive organized by Gold Coin Feedmill (B) Sdn Bhd at its training center to help replenish the blood supply at Raja Isteri Pengiran Anak Saleha (RIPAS) Hospital.
The drive recorded 60 registered donors and 41 successful blood donations, helping ensure blood availability for patients undergoing surgery, cancer treatment, emergency care, and other medical procedures.
Hajj Mat Yussof, supervisor of the RIPAS Hospital Blood Bank Centre, expressed appreciation to Gold Coin for organizing such an impactful initiative.
“Thank you to Gold Coin Feedmill (B) Sdn Bhd for organizing the Blood Donation Drive,” said Yussof, adding, “We hope you continue to support us and play a part in saving lives through blood donation. We look forward to doing it every year [to fill] the shortage of blood at the blood bank center.”
The drive demonstrates how community participation can address healthcare needs while fostering a culture of volunteerism and shared responsibility. It supports SDG 3 – Good Health and Well-being, SDG 10 – Reduced Inequalities, and SDG 17 – Partnerships for the Goals.
Through its initiatives in Vietnam and Brunei, Gold Coin demonstrates how meaningful community support can take many forms—from nurturing children’s aspirations to helping address essential healthcare needs.
