Axon Active’s flood relief initiative raised VND 514,934,800 (approx. USD 19,500) in response to the historic 2025 floods in Vietnam, delivering 2,536 educational gift packages to students in flood-affected communities.
The 2025 Floods and Their Impact on Students in Vietnam
In November 2025, torrential rainfall triggered one of the most severe flooding events in Vietnam’s Central Highlands and South Central Coast region in decades. Provinces including Dak Lak, Khanh Hoa, and Lam Dong recorded rainfall levels that surpassed historical records, leading to widespread flooding, landslides, and prolonged disruptions to daily life. Thousands of homes were damaged, and entire communities were left isolated for days as floodwaters rose.
Students across the affected provinces were among those hit hardest. Schools were flooded, and many children lost books, uniforms, and other essential learning materials just as the school year was underway. For families already coping with the broader damage caused by the floods, replacing these basic school supplies was often out of reach, putting children’s education at risk of falling further behind.
Axon Active’s Company-Wide Flood Relief Initiative
To respond quickly to the scale of the disaster, Axon Active launched a company-wide flood relief initiative, inviting employees across its Vietnam offices to contribute. Colleagues from Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang, and Can Tho came together in the weeks following the floods, reflecting the strong sense of community Axon Active has built with the people of Vietnam since establishing its first development team in Ho Chi Minh City in 2008. Together, Axon Active’s flood relief campaign raised VND 514,934,800, roughly USD 19,500.
Partnering with the Student Cultural Center of Ho Chi Minh City (Nhà Văn hóa Sinh viên TP. Hồ Chí Minh), Axon Active’s representatives traveled to the affected area on December 3, 2025, and personally delivered 2,536 educational gift packages to students at three schools.
Where Axon Active Delivered the Educational Gift Packages
- Over 2,500 educational gift packages delivered in total
- Vo Thi Sau High School — 914 packages
- Le Duan Primary – Lower Secondary School — 828 packages
- An Ninh Dong Primary School No. 1 — 794 packages
Axon Active hopes these gifts help ease the burden on these students and their families as they return to school after the floods, giving them one less thing to worry about during a difficult time and allowing them to focus on learning and rebuilding a sense of normalcy.
Axon Active’s Broader Commitment to CSR in Vietnam
This flood relief effort is part of Axon Active’s ongoing corporate social responsibility (CSR) commitment in Vietnam, where the company has grown from its first development team in Ho Chi Minh City in 2008 into a Swiss software development company with offices in Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang, Can Tho, San Francisco, and Lucerne.
Beyond disaster relief, Axon Active has long invested in Vietnam’s IT community, including as a founding supporter of DevDay Da Nang, now one of the country’s largest annual IT events, drawing thousands of students, developers, and speakers each year. This same spirit of giving back also shapes how Axon Active supports its own employees and their families year-round, not only during emergencies like the 2025 floods.
Axon Active has also been recognized among Vietnam’s Best Places to Work in IT for several consecutive years by Computerworld, reflecting a workplace culture that extends naturally into how the company shows up for the wider community during times of need. The 2025 flood relief campaign is a continuation of that same commitment: supporting the students, families, and communities where Axon Active’s employees live and work.
