Provincial Party Secretary Nguyen Ho Hai visited and presented gifts to families of meritorious people who received support to build new houses in Hoa Thanh commune.

Strong roof, deep affection

The house of Mr. Vo Van Hung's family (Van Duc B hamlet, An Trach commune) has just been completed and handed over to the family's indescribable joy. As one of the typical policy families, the house is not only a new home but also a solemn place to worship 2 Vietnamese Heroic Mothers, Mr. Hung's biological mother and mother-in-law.

Mr. Vo Van Hung confided: “My family’s circumstances are difficult, thanks to the Temporary Housing Elimination Program, which supported the repair costs. Along with that, my son who works abroad sends more money back, so the house has been built more solidly. This rainy season, my family is no longer afraid of the house leaking or collapsing.”

The joy of Mr. Hung's family is also the common joy of 90 policy families and meritorious people in An Trach commune, when each household received support of 35 million VND for repairs and 70 million VND to build new houses.

Mr. Vo Van Ho, a 3/4 disabled veteran, confided: “More than 10 years ago, I received support to build a house of gratitude. This year, the house has deteriorated, so it leaks in the rain and is exposed to the sun. The local authorities promptly helped with funding to repair the house, and my family is extremely touched and grateful.”

An Trach commune officials came to encourage and monitor the house repair progress of the family of war invalid Vo Van Ho.

Ca Mau province has just announced the completion of the Program to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses, with 9,671 houses repaired and newly built. Of these, 3,715 houses support households with meritorious services to the revolution and relatives of martyrs (1,652 newly built houses, 2,063 repaired houses). With the consensus of the entire political system, the cooperation of businesses and neighbors, thousands of new houses have been built, replacing temporary and dilapidated houses. Joy burst on the faces of old soldiers and relatives of martyrs when they moved into new, spacious and sturdy houses. That is the most worthy reward for the silent sacrifices of families with meritorious services to the revolution.

Completing the Program to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses is the political determination of the province. Ca Mau province (old) has completed the construction and repair of 4,400/4,400 houses, with a total cost of nearly 236 billion VND. Of these, 1,157 houses (578 newly built, 579 repaired) support households with meritorious services to the revolution and relatives of martyrs.

Immediately after the province's merger, despite the heavy workload and slow budget allocation, the communes and wards in the former Bac Lieu province promptly established a Steering Committee and developed regulations, assigning tasks to each member in charge of each hamlet. In addition, the localities also flexibly used their budgets and devoted all their efforts to completing the elimination of temporary and dilapidated houses for people with meritorious services on schedule, as a way to show gratitude to those who have contributed to the Fatherland, on the occasion of the 78th anniversary of War Invalids and Martyrs Day.

Each newly built house is a heart, a deep gratitude sent to those who have dedicated their lives to their homeland and country.

Ca Mau province determined that completing the Program to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses does not mean that there will be no more temporary and dilapidated houses in the area, because the beneficiaries of the program are limited. At the same time, in the complicated weather conditions and the impact of climate change leading to subsidence, landslides, storms, tornadoes, etc. causing damage to people's property and material, it is inevitable that there will still be temporary and dilapidated houses somewhere. Therefore, Ca Mau province will continue to direct the review and have appropriate support policies to help households, including those with meritorious services, stabilize their lives.

From temporary housing to livelihood support

The journey of the Program to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses in the province, although not long, is enough to demonstrate the strength of the spirit of solidarity, unity of will and determination to act of the entire Party, army and people. In order to continue promoting the positive spirit of the Program, Ca Mau province urgently implements the Project "Supporting livelihoods for poor households, near-poor households, policy households in difficult circumstances and ethnic minority households in the province, period 2025-2027", so that people can truly "settle down and have a career" , rise up to escape poverty sustainably and gradually become rich legitimately.

Once the roof is stable, localities continue to grasp the living situation and economic conditions to support appropriate livelihoods.

The new settlement is the foundation for families with preferential policies to build a brighter future. Mr. Huynh Van Thang, Party Secretary, Chairman of the People's Council of An Trach commune, shared: "When the roof is stable, we continue to direct the front, organizations, and go to each household to grasp the living situation, economic conditions... to have appropriate livelihood support directions. We assign party members and branches to sponsor disadvantaged households. From there, mobilize resources from businesses and philanthropists to buy trees and seedlings to support livestock and crop farming, helping people have a source of income and stabilize their lives."

Provincial Party Secretary Nguyen Ho Hai emphasized: It is necessary to determine that livelihood support is not about giving fish, but about giving fishing rods. So that each person becomes the subject in the economic development process, changing their own lives. At the same time, calling on all cadres, party members, civil servants, public employees, union members, youth and people in the province to continue to promote the spirit of solidarity, humanity, and affection, actively contribute resources according to their appropriate capacity to implement the Project and spread the noble gestures in the movement to every hamlet, village, and household. From there, arouse the will to be self-reliant, avoid the mentality of waiting and relying on others. Timely set examples of typical examples in overcoming difficulties and rising up...
