The family of Ms. Doan Thi Phuong (80 years old, living in village 2, Son Cam Ha commune) has just received 30 million VND in support to repair the old house according to Decision No. 21/2024 of the Prime Minister on supporting the construction of new houses or renovating and repairing houses for people with revolutionary contributions and relatives of martyrs.

With 30 million VND in support, the family added 20 million VND to cover the roof with new corrugated iron, tile the floor, and cover the walls to make the house cleaner and more beautiful.
