Mobilizing maximum people's strength to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses in Ky Anh district

Ms. Le Thi Lan (born in 1981) in Phu Long village, Ky Phu commune - a single, disabled woman, unable to work, has been living in a makeshift, dilapidated house for many years. Ms. Lan is eligible for support to build a new house under the Government's Temporary and Dilapidated House Elimination Program with a budget of 70 million VND.

Phu Long Village Women's Union (Ky Phu Commune) donated and supported Ms. Le Thi Lan with 23.8 million VND.

When they learned that Ms. Lan was approved and supported to build a new house, the villagers, local people and officials were all very happy. Therefore, when the village started building a house for Ms. Lan, everyone was enthusiastic, eager, and participated in helping, some contributed labor, some contributed money, everyone wanted the house to be completed quickly.

Ms. Le Thi Lan's new house is in the process of completion.

Secretary of Phu Long village Party cell Nguyen Thi Thuy shared: "With the direction and encouragement of the Steering Committee for eliminating temporary and dilapidated houses in the district and commune, the village has mobilized organizations and people to join hands and contribute to build a house for Ms. Lan. When we receive money from the State, we will compensate her, with the hope that she can live in a new house as soon as possible."

With high concentration, after just over 1 month of construction, the house has now entered the completion stage. The total estimated value is about 100 million VND.

It is known that Ky Phu commune currently has 13 households that need to rebuild and repair their houses, including 5 poor households and 8 meritorious people. With the drastic participation of the entire political system from the district to the grassroots, up to now, 8 houses have been completed and put into use; 5 houses are expected to be completed next week.

In addition to financial support, villagers and groups of masons in the village joined hands to build a new house for Mr. Nguyen Tien Dung in Phu Trung village, Ky Phu commune.

In Binh Loi village, Ky Tien commune, the new house of Ms. Le Thi Hien (85 years old) was completed and put into use nearly a month ago. Being a poor person, her husband passed away a long time ago, her children working far away, and her economic conditions being difficult, Ms. Hien had to live alone in a temporary house. Being approved to build a house under this program, she was extremely happy. However, when building the house, what she was most worried about was the huge amount of labor that she and her family could hardly afford.

Mrs. Le Thi Hien is very excited to have a new, spacious house to enjoy her old age.

Mrs. Hien's worries were resolved when all stages, from material transportation to construction, were undertaken by the village and mass organizations in the village, from the start of construction until handover for use. In addition to the 70 million VND in support from the State, additional personal loans, plus contributions from neighbors and relatives, Mrs. Hien now has a fairly spacious house to enjoy her old age.

Mrs. Hien confided: "Thanks to the attention of the Party and the State, the sympathy, sharing and unconditional support of the people and the village, I now live in a new, spacious house, have a proper place to worship my husband and ancestors, there is no greater happiness."

Ky Tien is one of the localities with a great need to remove temporary houses. After checking, the whole commune has 42 cases that meet the conditions to request to renovate and repair houses; of which 34 are poor, near-poor, and disadvantaged households; 8 households are beneficiaries. To date, 42/42 houses have started construction; 30 houses have been completed, reaching over 70%.

According to Chairman of Ky Tien Commune People's Committee Nguyen Thanh Chung, by mobilizing the maximum strength of the people and other forces to build and repair houses, not only will construction costs be minimized, difficulties for the subjects will be reduced, but the implementation time will also be shortened significantly. With the current progress, by May 10 at the latest, Ky Tien will complete 100% of the houses for the people.

Standing Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee Tran The Dung and the provincial delegation attended the groundbreaking ceremony of a house for Mr. Nguyen Dinh Cuu's family in Ky Tien commune.

In addition, the district has also reviewed and proposed to support 167 disadvantaged households (not subject to the Government's temporary housing removal) to build new and repair houses, of which 119 households requested to build new and 48 households requested to repair.
