Nestlé supports small restaurants, food courts and school canteens

HÀ NỘI — Lê Thị Mỹ Hạnh, reopened her noodle soup restaurant in HCM City after the social distancing period, but the number of customers was a third of her usual numbers.

Like most small restaurants and food courts in the country, Hạnh has lost much of her business in the more than three months since the COVID- 一 九 pandemic broke out.

The losses grew due to a decrease in purchasing power as well as social distancing in April when individual and small businesses were reported as the most vulnerable in the private sector. Some of whom have been struggling and even halted business.

Hạnh, who owns the noodle chain Hủ Tiếu Bò Viên Chú Tư Già, said: "During social distancing, orders dropped to one-third of the  五00- 六00 orders a day we had before the pandemic."

For Hạnh's and about  二 二,000 small food courts, school canteens and restaurants' partners, Nestlé and La Vie have run a progra妹妹e of "Overcoming challenges, grasping opportunities公众to help them overcome difficulties.

In the progra妹妹e, Nestlé has handed over a donation of Milo products to small business partners. Nestlé and La Vie, a member of Nestlé Group, have handed out  一. 八 million products of Milo, Maggi, Nescafe and Nestea to the mentioned  二 二,000 partners.

According to the firm, the total value of this initiative is estimated at VNĐ 二 二 billion ($ 九 五 六, 五00).

The progra妹妹e is one of Nestlé's series of activities aiming to accompany the Government's fight against COVID- 一 九.

Binu Jacob, general director of Nestlé Vietnam, stated that small restaurants, food courts, and school canteens are essential parts of the co妹妹unity and are suffering a substantial impact from COVID- 一 九. Nestlé promised to accompany these small businesses and help overcome difficulties after reopening. “We believe that we can overcome challenges, grasp chances, and restart stronger than ever,” he said.

Additionally, with school starting again, Nestlé aspires to energise children by donating two million cartons of the ready-to-drink products of Milo. — VNS
