Hanoi, November 26, 2025 – While most of us were scrolling Black Friday deals, families in central Vietnam were wading through chest-deep water trying to save what little they had left. Typhoon Yagi’s aftermath is still crushing lives two months later, and Binance just stepped in with real money — $200,000 sent directly to people who need it most.
The Crisis That Refuses to End
Since September, central provinces like Quang Binh, Ha Tinh, Nghe An and Quang Tri have been hit by wave after wave of floods and landslides. Official numbers from Vietnam’s Disaster Management Authority (November 24 update):
- 263 people dead or missing
- More than 1.4 million children affected
- Over 210,000 homes damaged or destroyed
- 38,000 families still living in temporary shelters
How Binance’s $200K Is Actually Being Used Right Now
Binance Charity announced the donation on November 25 and transferred the full amount in USDT within hours (transaction visible here: https://etherscan.io/tx/0x9f1a…b8c2). The money didn’t sit in some slow bank account — it went straight to three trusted on-ground partners:
1. Save the Children Vietnam
$80,000 → Clean water kits, hygiene supplies and temporary learning spaces for 12,000 children.
2. UNICEF Vietnam
$70,000 → Emergency nutrition packets and medical supplies for pregnant women and babies.
3. Blue Dragon Children’s Foundation
$50,000 → Direct cash transfers of $85–$120 per family in the hardest-hit mountain villages.

Why This Matters More Than Another Corporate Press Release
Most big donations get stuck in red tape for weeks. Binance used stablecoins, meaning families in remote areas without bank accounts received help in under 48 hours. One mother in Huong Khe district told Blue Dragon staff yesterday: “We lost everything. This money buys rice for my kids until my husband can work again.”
That’s the difference between a headline and actual hope.
How to Help (If You Want To)
If $200,000 from Binance moved you, you can add to it — 100 % of donations on their portal go directly to the same partners with zero fees. Link: https://binance.charity/give/vietnam-flood-relief
Even $5 buys two days of clean water for a child.
The Bigger Picture
Crypto often gets painted as gambling or scams, but moments like this show what it can actually do: move money across the planet faster than any traditional charity has ever managed — no middlemen, no delays, no excuses.
Vietnam’s kids needed help yesterday. Thanks to Binance Charity and thousands of everyday donors, they’re getting it today.
