Groundbreaking ceremony for 3 charity houses to help disadvantaged youth escape poverty

Three houses were built in Phu Cuong, Tam Nong and Binh Thanh communes ( Dong Thap ). This is an activity in the 2025 Summer Youth Volunteer Campaign and to welcome the Party Congresses at all levels, aiming to ensure social security and care for union members and children in difficult circumstances.

Each house is supported with a budget of 50 million VND sponsored by Van Hien University (HCMC), to help youth union members and people with difficult housing circumstances to settle down, stabilize their lives, and thereby escape poverty.

Mr. Le Hoang Quyet - Deputy Secretary of Dong Thap Provincial Youth Union said that the houses not only have material value, but also demonstrate profound humanity, spreading the spirit of social responsibility and sharing and supporting the community.

This activity spreads the spirit of "helping each other", clearly demonstrating the pioneering and voluntary role of Dong Thap province's youth in the new rural construction, joining hands to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses and supporting the poor to escape poverty.

Up to now, Dong Thap has completed, accepted and put into use 2,159 newly built and repaired houses (reaching 100% of the plan), 1 month earlier than planned. Of which, poor and near-poor households were supported with 1,554 houses. The total cost of implementation is more than 189 billion VND, from the state budget, socialization and family contributions.

In addition, in order to help the poor with housing difficulties "settle down", the whole Dong Thap province established 62 charity house building groups to participate in the Temporary Housing Removal Program with 934 members, thereby supporting more than 6,670 working days.

According to Dong Thap Provincial Party Secretary Le Quoc Phong, the program to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses has created a widespread movement throughout society. Thereby, Dong Thap has completed the program earlier than planned. The initiative and flexibility of all levels and sectors and the hearts and resources from the community supporting the implementation of the program have contributed to affirming the values and building the image of Dong Thap people - "loyal, dynamic, creative".

In the coming time, Mr. Phong requested that localities hand over the lists of poor, near-poor, and disadvantaged households that received support for the removal of temporary and dilapidated houses this time to new communes and wards. So that localities can continue to pay attention and support livelihoods for poor households to escape poverty, aiming to have no more poor households in the province.
