In October 2026, a group of determined fundraisers from across the electrical industry will take on an unforgettable 10-day trek through the striking landscapes of northern Vietnam, raising vital funds for the Electrical Industries Charity (EIC).

The challenge will push participants both physically and mentally, covering an average of 16–18km a day through the heat and humidity of Hoa Binh Province. In return, trekkers will experience breath-taking scenery, rich culture and the warm hospitality of one of Asia’s most fascinating destinations.
United by a shared commitment to the charity, the team is ready to step far outside their comfort zones for a cause close to their hearts. Meet the first members of Team Vietnam.
