Besides practical support from state resources and the active involvement of the entire political system, the noble gestures of local people have become a great driving force helping the province's work of eliminating temporary and dilapidated houses achieve many results. With the spirit of "helping each other in times of need," people in the province have not hesitated to join hands to help families in difficult circumstances, those living in dilapidated and unsafe houses, to build sturdy homes.
The story of Mr. Cu Seo Phu's family in Nam Ky village, Vinh Yen commune, Bao Yen district, is a clear example of such a noble act. Mr. Phu planted a eucalyptus tree with a trunk diameter of up to half a meter more than a decade ago, intending to use it to make furniture for his family by the end of this year. However, upon learning that Mr. Cu Seo Van's family (a poor household in the same village) urgently needed planks to rebuild their house to meet the "three sturdy" standards, Mr. Phu did not hesitate to cut down the tree to help.
Mr. Van's family is among the poorest in the village, so my wife and I were very happy to be able to help him with 2 cubic meters of wooden planks to build a house. We hope that this sturdy house will provide Mr. Van's family with a safe, clean, and comfortable place to live, free from the worries of rain and sun as before.
Eliminating temporary housing is not just a policy, but also a humane act that touches the hearts of every citizen. Understanding this profound meaning, over the years, the people of various ethnic groups in Lao Cai have demonstrated a spirit of solidarity and sharing, contributing significantly to the success of the program to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses.
For many years, Mr. Nguyen Trung Mo lived alone in a small, severely dilapidated house in Chang village, Thong Nhat commune, Lao Cai city. Recently, Mr. Mo received 3 million VND in support from the local government; local people contributed labor and materials worth approximately 30 million VND to build a house that meets the "three solid" criteria (referring to the house's structural integrity).
Not only Mr. Mo, but from 2024 to the present, 33 households in Thong Nhat commune have received support to replace their temporary or dilapidated houses. The new houses that have been built are, to varying degrees, the result of joint support from local authorities and residents.
Ms. Luong Thi Tuyet Mai, Chairwoman of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Thong Nhat Commune, shared: "In the past period, we have mobilized all resources to support people in eliminating temporary and dilapidated houses. Besides the support from the State, we have paid special attention to propaganda and mobilization efforts to encourage community support. It is gratifying that our appeals have received enthusiastic responses and sharing from the people themselves, businesses, and philanthropists in the area. This is not just simple material support, but also a source of spiritual encouragement, giving those in difficult circumstances more faith and motivation to rise up in life."
According to a report by the Provincial People's Committee, from the launch of the campaign until May 19th, localities have supported the commencement of construction and repair of 7,564 houses (4,549 new constructions; 3,015 repairs). The entire province has mobilized 538 billion VND to eliminate temporary housing, of which over 4 billion VND came from social contributions.
The image of neighbors working together, regardless of sun or rain, to build new, spacious houses has become familiar in many rural areas of Lao Cai. Not only that, many families also voluntarily contribute building materials they have, such as bricks, wood, bamboo, and reeds, to help disadvantaged households realize their dream of owning a home. These small but incredibly meaningful actions create immense strength, spreading solidarity and building an increasingly strong community.
The journey of eliminating temporary housing in localities throughout the province is not only about building and repairing new houses, but also contains beautiful stories about human kindness, the power of sharing, and the spirit of solidarity. These noble deeds of the people have further enriched the fine traditions of the nation, contributing to building a more prosperous, beautiful, and civilized Lao Cai.
