"Bridge" to rebuild life

Leaders of the Provincial Red Cross Association and sponsors presented money to support the construction of a new house for Mr. Ly Van Vi, Ngoa village, Yen Phu commune.

Mr. Nguyen Hoang Long, Chairman of the Provincial Red Cross Association, said: Many people, especially the poor, were left with almost nothing after the flood. The community's joint efforts to help are especially meaningful in difficult times. With the goal of not letting the poor, those in difficult circumstances, and those in dangerous areas stay in temporary, dilapidated, unsafe houses, the Provincial Red Cross Association has stepped up propaganda and mobilized people to promote the tradition of mutual love and mutual assistance. At the same time, coordinating with local Party committees and authorities to review, inspect, publicize, and be transparent to ensure the rights of households with real housing difficulties to provide timely support. On the other hand, creating a list and records of humanitarian addresses as a basis for mobilizing resources to help disadvantaged people, poor and near-poor households have housing to stabilize their lives.

Due to the direct impact of prolonged heavy rains and floods from upstream, Yen Phu commune suffered heavy damage, with an initial total estimated damage of about 21 billion VND. Of which, 29 houses had their roofs blown off or were severely damaged; 31 households in Ngoa village were urgently evacuated; over 70% of the land area for growing rice, corn, crops and fruit trees was damaged; 19 concrete roads between villages and hamlets were eroded...

Comrade Nguyen Van Uoc, Secretary of the Yen Phu Commune Party Committee, shared: To quickly stabilize housing for affected people, the commune assigned Party committees, authorities, and socio- political organizations to mobilize and receive resources. At the same time, assigned the Standing Committee member of the Party Committee in charge of the village, Party cell secretaries, and village heads to mobilize people to agree to move to the new resettlement site. The Economic Department is the permanent focal point, urging relevant units to carry out the project to ensure safety and on schedule for housing in the Ngoa Village Resettlement Area. In particular, the commune is accompanied by the Provincial Red Cross Association, connecting sponsors to help people soon have housing, demonstrating the spirit of community responsibility, contributing with the government to take care of people's lives.

Ms. Lu Thi Dung, Lung Vai village, Yen Minh commune is a household in difficult circumstances. The flood caused the house she was living in to collapse completely, and all the household items were buried in the ground. In time, the Provincial Red Cross Association connected with Vingroup to support 60 million VND and received help from the local government. Up to now, the foundation of her family's new house is gradually taking shape with an area of over 60 square meters, costing over 130 million VND. Ms. Dung shared: "This is a gift of spiritual encouragement, the timely attention of the Red Cross Association and the local government. My family will try to overcome difficulties and soon stabilize our lives."

Up to now, the Provincial Red Cross Association has mobilized resources and benefactors to support the repair and construction of 48 houses with a total value of over 2.3 billion VND. Of which, Thien Tam Fund - Vingroup Corporation sponsored 46 newly built and repaired houses; the Mechanical - Electrical Enterprises Association ( Ho Chi Minh City) sponsored 2 newly built houses.

With the spirit of "sharing food and clothes", the Provincial Red Cross Association and the people of Tuyen Quang are together continuing to write the story of warm humanity.
