Top 6 Vietnamese Celebrities Who Are Most Discreet in Their Charitable Work

Known as a symbol of beauty in the entertainment industry, Hồ Ngọc Hà has not only focused on building her flourishing career but also dedicated her time to various charitable endeavors. She has been actively involved in visits to orphanages and charitable homes, distributing gifts to children during holidays such as Tết and Mid-Autumn Festival.

Moreover, she regularly sponsors volunteer programs in Ho Chi Minh City and scholarship initiatives for underprivileged students. In her charity work, Hồ Ngọc Hà always gives her all, encouraging her friends and colleagues to join her in spreading kindness. The singer often collaborates with her mother on charitable trips to support those in need. Recently, she, along with the team behind the 'Love Songs' live show, organized a 'Warm Ride' to help people facing hardships.

In a recent interview, Hồ Ngọc Hà shared, 'I had a meaningful day visiting and delivering gifts to children with hearing and vision impairments, as well as supporting the elderly and abandoned children... Witnessing such situations was deeply moving. This has made me more grateful for my life and inspired me to give back in any way I can. I hope to have more charitable journeys like this to help provide a more stable life for others. I also encourage my fans to join me in these efforts to share love and support.'

Đại Nghĩa is recognized as a TV host, actor, and stage performer. Besides his career, he is highly appreciated for his relentless charitable work and his commitment to a vegetarian lifestyle. He is among the most active philanthropists in the entertainment industry, quietly engaging in charity work year after year without seeking publicity or fanfare.

His Facebook page serves as a platform for updates on his charity efforts: building bridges, digging wells, constructing homes, paving roads, distributing rice, providing wheelchairs, supporting education, and offering free eye surgeries to the poor. These initiatives are maintained through charity accounts he manages. Đại Nghĩa frequently donates part of his income to these causes or invites his followers to contribute when needed. Despite now earning millions, he remains humble and refrains from spending on luxury goods. He is one of the few artists who perform in modest clothes worth just a few hundred thousand dong, avoiding designer brands, fine dining, and lavish holidays.

Đại Nghĩa has said that charity work is the most challenging part of his career as a host and actor. It requires patience, resilience, and a strong desire to help others. He also highlighted the importance of enduring negative comments and criticism. 'People often think charity is simple—just giving money to those in need—but it’s more than that. The joy I receive from bringing happiness to others is far greater, and that is the best reward I could ask for,' he explained.

During the challenging times of the COVID-19 pandemic, Quyền Linh was one of the first celebrities to actively participate in charity work. When asked about the flaws and issues surrounding current charity efforts, which have been criticized by society, he shared: 'I’m not worried at all because I’ve been doing charity work for nearly 20 years. For me, as long as we do it with a sincere heart, there’s nothing to worry about. Whatever comes, we face it. Whatever needs to be done, we just do it.'

During the peak of the pandemic in Ho Chi Minh City, Quyền Linh was a leader in rallying donations and supporting the vaccine fund. His simple, humble appearance, carrying bags of rice, vegetables, and other essentials to help the community, left a deep emotional impact. Speaking about his approach to charity, Quyền Linh prefers a quieter, less showy method. He only asked for contributions once and closed the donation account after just 10 minutes when he had already raised over 2 billion VND. 'I had to close the account quickly because I feared that if I kept it open, I wouldn’t be able to handle all the support,' he shared.

Reflecting on his 20 years in the industry, the actor from *Đồng tiền xương máu* has always been closely linked to community and charity work. Audiences remember him as the “MC of the poor.” He sees his charitable work as a responsibility that he must fulfill. He believes that the satisfaction and joy he gains from helping others far outweighs the joy felt by those he helps. 'When the people I assist feel joy, I feel ten times more joy, and that joy can last forever,' he says.

Mỹ Tâm is beloved by her fans for her professionalism in music. Beyond that, the singer has earned public affection for her compassion and generosity towards those in need. Her charitable work, especially the acts of kindness she has carried out over the years, has always been done quietly, without fanfare. Even though she has been in the entertainment industry for a long time, Mỹ Tâm has always kept her personal life private, and her charity work is no exception—it is not as publicized as many others in the industry. She prefers to keep her charitable endeavors low-key, and it is often only when her fans share photos that the public becomes aware of her efforts.

During the Covid-19 pandemic, Mỹ Tâm quietly engaged in charity work without announcing it on her official Fanpage. Around the end of March, she donated hand sanitizers and medical masks to hospitals. However, she requested that the hospital staff and her fans refrain from posting any pictures or information about her contribution on social media. It was a Facebook user, moved by the gesture, who shared the story with the public, including photos of the thank-you message from the Tropical Disease Hospital. With her beautiful voice, popular hits, and “golden personality,” Mỹ Tâm is a beloved figure to her fans.

During a television program, Mỹ Tâm once shared: 'I don’t think that just because I’m a singer, I’m obligated to do charity work. It comes from my desire to make a positive difference every day. It's not about doing charity to show others that I am good, and it's certainly not because I’m a singer, model, or beauty queen that I must do charity to make others see me in a positive light.'

In addition to his singing career, male singer Hà Anh Tuấn is also well-known for his meaningful contributions to society. During the Covid-19 pandemic, he donated 25 tons of rice, 50,000 eggs, and 300 liters of cooking oil to charitable kitchens in Ho Chi Minh City. The message Hà Anh Tuấn wanted to spread was 'Saigon, Let’s Cook Together.' But his generosity didn’t stop there—he also made a 500 million VND donation to the vaccine fund and contributed 1 billion VND to support the province of Bac Giang.

In July 2020, it was reported that Hà Anh Tuấn donated 3 billion VND to ensure the continuation of the popular program 'Như Chưa Hề Có Cuộc Chia Ly.' In October 2019, he launched the 'Vietnam Forest' project, where he promised to plant trees in two forests by 2020. Hà Anh Tuấn personally traveled to Lạc Dương (Lâm Đồng) and Sơn Trà (Da Nang) to plant trees alongside his colleagues, forest rangers, and local communities.

The singer shared that his charitable efforts come from his heartfelt desire to give back. “I’ve learned to appreciate and live with gratitude, seeing the true wealth in sharing with others, especially those with humble, simple lives. No one teaches this; it’s something you realize once you truly start living. Material wealth provides comfort in the present, but the act of sharing brings lasting peace for the future,” he expressed.

NSND Kim Cương is a renowned cải lương artist, often referred to as the 'leading lady' of the Vietnamese stage. She holds the title of the artist with the most written drama scripts in Vietnam, as recognized by the Vietnam Book of Records. Kim Cương became famous through works such as 'Lá sầu riêng', 'Dưới hai màu áo', and 'Trà hoa nữ'.

Beyond her acting career, she is well known for her charitable work. For many years, she has organized the 'Nghệ sĩ tri âm' event to raise funds for poor actors, musicians, and scriptwriters. She also founded the Bảy Nam Scholarship Fund to support the children of struggling artists. The fund is named after her mother, the late People's Artist Bảy Nam, a legend in cải lương and traditional Vietnamese theater. Currently, she serves as the Vice President of the Ho Chi Minh City Association for the Protection of Disabled People and Orphans.

In collaboration with the Ho Chi Minh City Charity Fund for the Poor and businessman Dương Minh, NSND Kim Cương launched a program called 'Trái tim yêu thương' (The Heart of Love) to support orphaned children due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The program aims to help these children receive shelter, education, and support. The children benefiting from this initiative are those who have lost one or both parents to the pandemic in Ho Chi Minh City and are currently in difficult situations, without support from other organizations. The program provides each child with 2 million VND per month, with additional support offered based on individual circumstances, until they turn 18. The sponsors will also cover any additional expenses related to their education, health, and other needs during the support period.
