Warm homes of Great Unity

The movement “Join hands to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses” launched by the Prime Minister has spread widely, arousing the sense of responsibility and humanity in the community. In Tay Ninh, the movement was quickly materialized with practical actions, mobilizing the participation of the entire political system and all classes of people. Hundreds of new houses have been built, adding motivation for those in difficult circumstances to gradually rise up and stabilize their lives.

Go strong

Responding to the movement "Join hands to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses", the entire provincial political system strongly participated. The Provincial Steering Committee was established, a detailed plan was issued, clearly identifying priority subjects as poor and near-poor households, people with meritorious services to the revolution, and families with real housing difficulties. The province organized a review and careful survey of each household to classify the needs of new construction or repair; promoted socialization, mobilized businesses, individuals, and philanthropists to join hands to contribute with the state budget and local resources.

Many creative measures were applied such as mobilizing union members, youths, and armed forces to contribute labor days to reduce costs and shorten the implementation progress. In addition to supporting housing construction, the provincial government, Vietnam Fatherland Front and socio-political organizations also mobilized philanthropists to donate household appliances and necessities to households on the occasion of the handover ceremony of new houses.

Thanks to the drastic and synchronous participation, the movement has quickly brought about encouraging results. As of May 30, 2025, the whole province has completed 924 Great Unity houses, of which 774 were newly built and 150 were repaired, with a total cost of more than 73.1 billion VND, reaching 100% of the set plan.

Build a roof - build trust

Each house is not only a solid and safe place to live, but also a testament to the care of the Party, the State and the love of the people. For the poor, a roof not only protects them from the rain and sun but also serves as a support for them to work with peace of mind and to stabilize their lives. The case of Mrs. Huynh Thi Kim Muoi's family in the border commune of Binh Thanh is a testament to this.

Previously, Mrs. Muoi's house was just a makeshift thatched roof, patched-up corrugated iron walls on cracked ground. Every time there was a heavy rain or strong wind, the whole family was in constant fear because the dilapidated, rickety house could collapse at any time. Thanks to the movement "Join hands to eliminate temporary, dilapidated houses", Mrs. Muoi received support to repair and complete the house, helping to make her family's living space more secure. The joy was evident on her face because from now on, her family no longer had to worry like before.

The movement to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses for people is being well implemented in localities.

Mrs. Muoi emotionally expressed: “I am poor, I never dared to think that I would have a solid house like today. From now on, I can work with peace of mind, try to escape poverty so as not to disappoint the government and the benefactors who have helped me.”

That joy is also spreading to many other families, typically the family of Mr. Doan Van Muoi (residing in Tan Thanh commune). Mr. Muoi's family is a near-poor household, with 3 members relying only on 2,000m² of production land. They have no stable jobs, so their life is difficult all year round, lacking everything. The house has a dirt floor, thatched roof, and thatched walls that are rotten and seriously degraded. The heavy rains once turned it into an obsession when the whole family had no dry place to take shelter. Now, in the new, spacious house, Mr. Muoi feels like he has lifted his burden and has more confidence to build his life.

Mr. Muoi emotionally shared: “As soon as the house was finished, I moved in immediately, I was so happy! If we had done it ourselves, I don’t know when my family would have been able to rebuild the house. From now on, my family no longer lives in fear every time it rains heavily or has strong winds, but feels secure and has more motivation to strive to stabilize our lives.”

These are two of many cases of support for repairing and building new houses, like strokes that add to the big, warm picture of humanity and the meaning of the movement "Join hands to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses". For many households, the new home brings joy, erases daily worries and opens up hope for a stable future; clearly demonstrating the spirit of sharing and joining hands for the community that is spreading strongly throughout the countryside.

Spread the power of great solidarity

Not only stopping at handing over new houses, the movement also arouses the spirit of solidarity and social responsibility in the community. From large enterprises to households, everyone wants to contribute their part.

Director of Agribank Bac Long An Branch Phan Tan Luan said: “We believe that supporting the removal of temporary houses is not only a responsibility but also a gesture of gratitude to the community. The branch closely coordinates with local authorities to conduct thorough surveys to select the right beneficiaries, while strictly monitoring the progress and quality of the project. Accordingly, the bank has supported the construction and coordinated the handover of 83 Great Unity houses to poor and near-poor households, with a total cost of 5 billion VND. Each house when handed over is guaranteed to be solid and sustainable so that people can live with peace of mind and have more determination to rise up.”

The valuable thing is that from each Great Unity house, people have more confidence in the care of the Party, the State, and the strength of the community. Many households after having new houses have actively participated in local movements such as maintaining environmental hygiene, contributing working days to build roads and rural bridges, and supporting each other in production.

Member of the Provincial Party Standing Committee, Permanent Vice Chairwoman of the Provincial Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee Nguyen Thi Thu Trinh affirmed: “The movement “Joining hands to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses” is a testament to the strength of the great national unity bloc, when the Party, government, the Front and the People are united in achieving a common goal. In the coming time, the Front at all levels will continue to promote the role of “bridge”, mobilize social resources, spread the spirit of “mutual love and affection”, contributing to building the homeland of Tay Ninh to be increasingly rich, civilized and affectionate”./.
