The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and 2021 has affected all aspects of people’s lives, including children. Many disadvantaged children suffer more difficulties during the period.

The provincial Youth Union and Young Pioneers chapters have presented gift packages that include necessities like face masks, antiseptic solutions, medicine, instant noodles, rice, online learning equipment to support disadvantaged children in remote areas as well as those with difficult circumstances affected by the pandemic. Over 900 children received gifts worth over 300 million VND (nearly 13,000 USD) through a fund-raising campaign entitled "For dear juniors.”

Activities have still been maintained such as a contest on spreading information about the "Happy School"model; or communication work to raise awareness about the compliance with Traffic Laws and Law on Environmental Protection.

All Young Pioneers Councils and Youth Unions across the province have registered projects to welcome the congresses of chapters of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union in their localities. Some typical works include building a playground for children of Nghia Lo town or "Happy School" model of Tram Tau district Youth Union and the "English Tree" model of the To Hieu Secondary School.

The provincial Young Pioneer Council has been implementing activities in response to Action Month for Children 2022, notably the launching of the movement "All people practice swimming, joining drowning prevention work and celebrating International Children’s Day 2022".
