Cai Lay District takes care of the people's lives.

Over the years, Cai Lay district in Tien Giang province has paid close attention to improving the lives of its people. Social welfare policies have been effectively implemented with the goal of "leaving no one behind".

MANY SUPPORT SOLUTIONS

To create conditions for poor and near-poor households and families entitled to preferential policies to have a stable place to live, every year, the Party Committee, the government, the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Cai Lay district and 16 communes and towns survey and understand the circumstances of each family, ensuring that housing support is provided openly, transparently, and to the right beneficiaries.

At the same time, enhance the role and responsibility of all levels and sectors in coordinating propaganda and mobilization of organizations and individuals to support the Fund for the Poor, implementing the emulation movement "Joining hands to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses nationwide by 2025"...

In 2024 and the first months of 2025, Cai Lay district built and renovated 356 houses for people with meritorious service, their relatives, and households in difficult circumstances, with a total budget of over 19 billion VND from the budget and other mobilized sources. Each completed house reflects the affection and responsibility of the local government, the sharing of the community, and creates motivation for families to strive for a stable life.

In his new home, Mr. Tran Thanh Thoan (My Hoa hamlet, My Long commune) shared: “Because we didn't have stable jobs, despite working hard to make a living, my wife and I hadn't been able to rebuild our house. With the local government's support of 60 million VND, plus the help of relatives, the joy of having a new, sturdy house has become a reality for my family. Since having a new house and a stable place to live, our family life has become less difficult than before. My wife and I can focus on developing our economy and providing better education for our two children.”

Implementing the National Target Program for Sustainable Poverty Reduction, Cai Lay district has deployed many livelihood support models to help poor and near-poor households improve their living conditions. In 2024, the locality implemented 15 Livelihood Diversification and Poverty Reduction Model Development Projects with a total budget of over 2.3 billion VND. Families received support in the form of seedlings, livestock, construction costs for raising breeding goats and cattle, and the improvement and care of orchards, etc.

Ms. Vo Thi Thuy Duong, from Hamlet 2, Phu An Commune, has a "Goat Breeding" model supported by the Livelihood Diversification Project.

The People's Committees of the 16 communes and towns in the district have focused on transferring scientific and technical knowledge, encouraging households to exchange production experiences, and checking the effectiveness of livelihood support models.

“Raising two young children alone has made my family's finances extremely difficult. Thanks to the local government's support in providing 6 breeding goats through the “Goat Breeding” model, I have built a barn and utilized natural grass resources for raising them. After two batches of selling the kids, I see that the model is initially proving economically effective, creating additional income for my family,” said Ms. Vo Thi Thuy Duong, from Hamlet 2, Phu An Commune.
