Cai Lay District: Taking good care of the people's lives.

Handing over houses under the program to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses in Tam Binh commune, Cai Lay district.

To create conditions for poor households, near-poor households, and policy beneficiary families to have stable housing, every year, the Party Committee, government, and Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of the 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 "For the Poor" Fund, and implement 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 home has become a reality for us. Since having the new house, our family's life has been less difficult than before. My wife and I can now focus on developing our economy and raising 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 projects to diversify livelihoods and develop poverty reduction models with a total budget of over 2.3 billion VND. Families received support in the form of seedlings, livestock, and funds for constructing barns for breeding goats and cows, as well as for improving and caring for orchards.

The People's Committees of 16 communes and towns also focused on transferring scientific and technical knowledge, encouraging households to exchange production experiences, and checking the effectiveness of the models. "Raising two young children alone has made my family's finances extremely difficult."

"Thanks to local support in providing 6 breeding goats through the 'Goat Breeding' model, I built a barn and utilized natural grass resources for raising them. After two batches of selling the kids, I found the model to be initially effective in terms of economic benefits, creating additional income for my family," said Ms. Vo Thi Thuy Duong, Hamlet 2, Phu An Commune, Cai Lay District.

Ensuring social security and improving people's lives is a consistent goal that Cai Lay district has focused on. Party committees, government agencies, the Fatherland Front Committee, and mass organizations at all levels in the district have demonstrated a high sense of responsibility, concentrating on mobilizing resources to support people in developing their economy and achieving sustainable poverty alleviation. In particular, patriotic emulation movements and campaigns launched by the District Fatherland Front Committee and its member organizations have spread widely, connecting people with shared values and contributions.

In 2024 and the first months of 2025, Cai Lay district implemented many movements and activities to care for the material and spiritual lives of its people. The Fatherland Front Committees at all levels and political and social organizations in the district mobilized more than 40.3 billion VND for the "For the Poor" Fund and social welfare programs.

100% of families entitled to preferential policies and meritorious individuals receive preferential treatment as prescribed. The locality also focuses on vocational training, job creation for workers, and promoting economic restructuring. The average per capita income currently reaches over 81 million VND/person/year. The poverty rate at the end of 2024 was reduced by 0.71%, and the near-poverty rate by 1.77%.

By taking good care of the people's lives, Cai Lay district has achieved outstanding results in socio-economic development, creating trust and consensus to bring about comprehensive development for the locality.
