In recent days, many meaningful Tet gifts have been given directly to the poor by the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Ninh Thuan province. With the support of the Southern Power Corporation, the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Ninh Thuan province has just presented 20 bicycles to poor but studious students, each worth 1.8 million VND, and 100 gifts including rice, some necessities, candies worth 1 million VND and 200 thousand VND in cash to the Raglay ethnic people in Phuoc Khang commune (Thuan Bac district) to help them have more conditions to enjoy the spring and welcome the traditional Tet holiday.

In addition to prioritizing resources from the “For the Poor” Fund to give Tet gifts to people in difficult circumstances, the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committees at all levels in Ninh Thuan province also coordinate with the Red Cross Society and organizations to mobilize resources in cash and kind to organize the “Charitable Tet” movement to give gifts to the poor and disadvantaged in society. During the At Ty Tet holiday, the Ninh Thuan Red Cross Society at all levels strives to give about 14,500 gifts to the poor, those in difficult circumstances, and vulnerable people with a total value of over 5 billion VND.

Mr. Le Van Binh - Chairman of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Ninh Thuan province said that in recent times, the activities of caring for the poor have been implemented by the Standing Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of the province and member organizations of the Front through meaningful activities such as giving gifts, building Great Unity houses, supporting livelihoods for the poor. In 2024, the Mobilization Committee of the "For the Poor" Fund at all levels received donations from agencies, units, businesses, individuals, and philanthropists with an amount of over 23.5 billion VND. From the above resources, the "For the Poor" Fund at all levels has allocated a total amount of over 31 billion VND, including support for the construction of 458 Great Unity houses with a total amount of 26.8 billion VND; repairing 10 houses with a cost of 210 million VND; giving Tet gifts, granting livelihoods, supporting disadvantaged families... with an amount of over 3 billion VND.

In order to effectively carry out the work of caring for the poor on the occasion of the Lunar New Year of At Ty, the Standing Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Ninh Thuan province has instructed districts and cities to review and select the right beneficiaries according to regulations, and allocate them to localities to organize the distribution of gifts to ensure they reach the beneficiaries. From the mobilized and received resources, the Standing Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of districts and cities has promptly allocated and instructed localities to review and select the right beneficiaries according to regulations, organize the distribution of gifts to ensure they reach the beneficiaries, and preside over and coordinate with the relevant agencies to receive support sources from sponsors, businesses and distribution organizations to ensure that each poor and near-poor household with truly difficult circumstances receives gifts to celebrate the New Year, without overlapping the same beneficiary with many sources of support.

In addition to focusing on taking care of the poor on the occasion of the Lunar New Year, the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Ninh Thuan province is speeding up the progress of completing houses according to the Housing Support Project for poor and near-poor households, phase 2023-2025 (Project 384).
