As a leading enterprise in Vietnam’s Port and Logistics sector, Gemadept Corporation (Gemadept) is committed to social responsibility. This commitment is clearly demonstrated through its community-focused activities, notably the annual Gemadept Run. This event is more than just a sporting activity; it symbolizes Gemadept’s sustainable dedication to creating value for the community and fostering educational dreams for Vietnam’s future generations.
In May, representatives of the Gemadept Run Organizing Committee and volunteers from the Nuoi Em Ecosystem directly visited three highland schools to implement the “Computer Lab for Children” project. This shows Gemadept’s proactive and dedicated efforts to bring about positive changes for society.
The Gemadept Run 2024 attracted over 3,800 participating athletes. This impressive number not only demonstrates the widespread appeal of the race but also affirms Gemadept’s efforts to mobilize the community to contribute significant resources to charitable activities, supporting disadvantaged circumstances in remote areas. It was precisely from this spirit of solidarity and joint effort that the “Computer Lab for Children” project, a closely collaborative initiative with the Nuoi Em Ecosystem, was implemented, bringing practical.
Gemadept Donates Modern IT Room
With the message “Pioneering for the Future Generation,” Gemadept has actively contributed to supporting education, especially in the context of recovering from the devastating effects of historic Typhoon Yagi. The Company donated two modern computer labs, each valued at over 100 million VND and equipped with 15 computers, to two schools:
- Pho Rang 2 Secondary School (Pho Rang Town, Bao Yen District, Lao Cai Province)
- Khanh Yen Thuong Primary School (Khanh Yen Thuong Commune, Van Ban District, Lao Cai Province
This is a specific action of Gemadept to ensure that students in mountainous areas can access digital knowledge, equipping them with solid provisions for the future.
Lighting up the “Light of the Mountains” through the school construction project
It didn’t stop there. Gemadept also brought its “loving journey” to Khau Day Kindergarten in Khau Day Village, Du Gia Commune, Yen Minh District, Ha Giang Province. This school, built with funds effectively raised from the Gemadept Run, has become a safe and fully equipped second home for 56 Hmong and Tay ethnic minority children.
Gemadept didn’t just contribute 457 million VND for construction costs, the Company also demonstrated comprehensive care by donating essential items such as hot and cold water purifiers, floor mats, learning tools, the school’s signboard, and fresh milk. Notably, the Company also provided scholarships to students in special circumstances and from impoverished households, along with cash support for two teachers in remote villages facing difficulties, totaling nearly 150 million VND. These contributions affirm Gemadept’s commitment to caring for both students and educators in challenging regions.

The Gemadept Run has gone beyond being just a simple sports race. It’s a journey where Gemadept Corporation actively creates better things for the community and society, continuously fostering sustainable values.
