In their sturdy "Great Solidarity" house, Mr. Tran Van Duc's family (Tan Thoi A hamlet) couldn't hide their joy, no longer fearing the rain and wind during the recent heavy rains. Their family only owned 3 acres of land for shrimp farming, but the farming wasn't profitable, so Mr. Duc had to supplement his income by working as a motorbike taxi driver, while his wife sewed carpets for a living. Sharing in the family's plight, on the day of the house handover, benefactors and local authorities provided additional support including a television, a fan, and 5 million VND to build auxiliary facilities, helping the family to have a more comfortable living environment.

Mr. Tran Van Duc cherishes the house he recently received as assistance.

Mr. Tran Van Duc shared: “My house was in very poor condition. On rainy days, I had to use various objects to cover and catch the leaking water. Thanks to the government's attention and support in providing us with a sturdy house to protect us from the sun and rain, it not only relieved our worries about housing but also gave us great motivation to work, produce, and develop the economy with peace of mind.”

With no land for farming and two children to support through school, the burden of life weighed heavily on the shoulders of Mrs. Tran Mong Linh and her husband (Tan Hong hamlet). They toiled tirelessly, buying crabs in the morning and tying them up for hire in the afternoon. Life became even more difficult when their two children entered university. The joy of this poor couple was overwhelming when local officials guided them in obtaining loans from the Social Policy Bank's student loan program, and also provided them with preferential loans to raise ducks and invest in a crab farming model. This generous capital brought them a steady income, enabling them to provide for their two children's education.
