Intrepid Travel is raising money to support storm-hit communities in northern Vietnam after the region bore the brunt of Typhoon Yagi’s vicious winds and heavy rains earlier this month.

The operator has launched an emergency appeal through the Intrepid Foundation, with all funds set to be given to its local charity partner – the Blue Dragon Children’s Foundation – to provide immediate on-the-ground relief.

Blue Dragon will use the money to provide shelter and food for those impacted by flooding and landslides. When the situation stabilises, funds will also be put towards longer-term support, such as rebuilding efforts.
