A solid "support" for the people

In Hung Hoi commune, social security work has been implemented synchronously and creatively. The Commune Fatherland Front Committee has proactively gathered and united the people, mobilized many resources to improve their lives, created clear changes in poverty reduction and advanced new rural construction. From the annual fund for the poor and the joint efforts of the community, in the past term, the Commune Fatherland Front Committee has built 21 Great Unity houses; mobilized more than 100 working days from the people and mass organizations to build roads and repair rural bridges.

The Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Phuoc Long commune handed over Great Solidarity houses to households affected by storms and floods.

In addition, the Commune Fatherland Front Committee coordinated to open 18 vocational training classes; support capital, seedlings, and production means for Khmer people, with a total value of over 850 million VND; deploy effective production models such as: OCOP products of chili cakes and ginger cakes in Cai Gia hamlet; growing pink lotus guava, growing vegetables in greenhouses... Thereby, contributing to raising the average income per capita from 40 million VND in 2019 to 75 million VND in 2024. Up to now, the commune has only 22 poor households (rate of 0.07%) and 92 near-poor households (rate of 0.31%).

As a prominent locality in poverty reduction, the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Phu Tan commune determined that to help people escape poverty sustainably, it is impossible to rely solely on State support but must arouse the will to self-reliance. Along with advocacy work, the Commune Fatherland Front Committee created conditions for poor and near-poor households to access over 2 billion VND in loans from the Social Policy Bank; transfer of science and technology; vocational training and job referrals. Many effective business models have been replicated such as: raising blood cockles, raising commercial crabs, etc., helping many households to escape poverty sustainably.

The Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Phuoc Long commune and benefactors donated a fish pond to a policy family in the commune.

At the same time, the Commune Fatherland Front Committee mobilized to build and repair 26 Great Unity houses; along with the temporary house removal program, supported 68 houses for policy households and poor households. Social security work was focused on, mobilizing support with a total value of over 3 billion VND for poor, near-poor and extremely disadvantaged households.

Thanks to high determination and methodical approach, in just 2 years, the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Phu Tan commune has supported 15 poor households, 11 near-poor households and 19 extremely disadvantaged households to escape poverty sustainably; contributing to reducing the poverty rate of the commune from 1.25% (early 2024) to 0.24% (late 2025), near-poor households from 2.27% to 0.68%. In particular, the commune has implemented the model "Hamlets without poor households", up to now, 11/17 hamlets have achieved the target, becoming a bright spot in the province's sustainable poverty reduction movement.

Join hands to take care of social security

Identifying social security as a key task, the Fatherland Front Committees at all levels in the province continue to launch and effectively implement activities to care for the poor and disadvantaged.

During the past term, the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Ca Mau province mobilized more than 345 billion VND for the Fund for the Poor and social security programs from businesses, organizations, overseas Vietnamese, and the social community. From this fund, the Fatherland Front Committees at all levels supported the construction of Great Unity houses, provided capital for production, awarded scholarships, supported livelihoods, provided medical examination and treatment, etc., helping thousands of poor households stabilize their lives, and many households rose up to escape poverty sustainably.

The Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Chau Thoi commune handed over the Great Unity house to the people.

Not only stopping at short-term support, the Fatherland Front Committees at all levels focus on implementing long-term solutions to create sustainable livelihoods for the people. Support models for seeds , seedlings, agricultural materials, preferential loans, vocational training, and technical training are organized regularly, helping people have conditions for production and know how to effectively use supported resources. Thanks to that, the poverty rate of the province has decreased steadily over the years, especially in remote areas, areas with large ethnic minorities.

One of the programs that has created a strong change in people's lives is the Project to Eliminate Temporary and Dilapidated Houses, chaired and coordinated by the Provincial Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee. The whole province has completed 9,594 houses (more than 7,000 newly built houses and more than 2,500 repaired houses). Not only providing financial support, the Fatherland Front Committees at all levels have also mobilized nearly 15,000 working days of union members, youth, armed forces and people to transport materials, build houses for poor households, helping thousands of households settle down and create a solid foundation for the goal of sustainable poverty reduction.

The support of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Hung Hoi commune helps people develop livelihood models and create stable income.

As a bridge between the Party, the State and the People, the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committees at all levels in Ca Mau continue to play a central role in humanitarian activities, mobilizing the entire population to care for the poor and implement social security . Innovation in content and methods of mobilization; strengthening the mobilization of social resources; replicating effective poverty reduction models; promoting livelihood support associated with technology transfer... are creating conditions for the poor to proactively rise up, contributing to building the province more and more civilized and prosperous./.
