Leaders of Son Luong commune presented gifts to the family of Mr. Nguyen Huy Bang, Dai Phu area, Son Luong commune, on the occasion of their housewarming.
With the involvement of the entire political system, the consensus of the people, and the joint efforts of organizations and individuals, the program to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses has become a prominent highlight in the province's social welfare work, contributing to building a sustainable, humane community and ensuring that no one is left behind.
With a spirit of mutual support and solidarity, the forces contributed over 32,000 man-days of labor to help households with construction, repairs, material transportation, and site leveling. Of this, the military contributed 19,288 man-days, while the police, political and social organizations, and the people contributed 12,865 man-days. They also provided nearly 16,000 vehicles and construction machinery, and other organizations and individuals donated construction materials such as cement, bricks, steel, sand, gravel, and paint. |
Housing is a basic need and a crucial condition for each family to stabilize their lives and develop economically . However, for many poor and disadvantaged households, building a sturdy house is very difficult. Yet, under the decisive leadership and guidance of Party committees, government authorities, and the Steering Committee for Eliminating Temporary and Dilapidated Houses, thousands of disadvantaged families have achieved their dream homes. These solidarity houses are not only shelters from the sun and rain but also a foundation for people to "settle down and prosper," confidently changing their lives, providing children with clean and beautiful study spaces, allowing adults to work with peace of mind, and strengthening community bonds as they contribute labor and resources to build houses for needy households. The proactive involvement and diverse resource allocation of the Fatherland Front have created this widespread impact.
Behind these figures are touching and humane stories of sharing and solidarity. This spring brings even more joy to the family of Mr. Bui Van Thang in Tieng hamlet, Thung Nai commune, after years of living in a dilapidated house, constantly fearing disaster during every rainy season. Mr. Thang emotionally shared: "A new house is something my family never dared to dream of. Now that we're in a new house, I feel much healthier."
Not only Mr. Thang's family, but also 13 members of Mr. Sung A Giang's family in My A area, Thu Cuc commune, are delighted to welcome the new spring in a house built through solidarity. To complete this house, in addition to the financial support from the State, the villagers, the police, and the army regularly provided labor to dismantle the house, dig the foundation, and clean up, helping Mr. Sung A Giang's family speed up the construction process so that they could soon settle into a sturdy house. Many families in difficult circumstances also share the joy of welcoming spring in new homes, such as the family of Ms. Phan Thi Oanh in area 5, Phung Nguyen commune; Mr. Nguyen Huy Bang in Dai Phu area, Son Luong commune; Mr. Nguyen Dinh Nhac in Hung Viet commune; Ms. Phung Thi Huong in Con area, Thu Cuc commune; Ms. Pham Thi Dung in Van Xuan commune; Ms. Ha Thi Khuom, Thu 1 area, Lai Dong commune...
Particularly touching is the story of Mr. and Mrs. Thieu Manh Trong, both 90 years old, in Dong Luong commune. Their 40-year-old house was frequently flooded, their youngest son was slow-witted, and his wife was severely disabled. Thanks to support from the government, the community, and generous donors, a sturdy house was completed in just over two months. Mr. Trong shared his joy: “I never thought my family would one day live in such a large, sturdy house. Before, our house was dilapidated, everything got wet when it rained, and our son was weak and slow, so we were extremely worried. Now that we have a new house, we feel much more at ease! Thank you to the government, the benefactors, and our relatives for their help.”
During the implementation of the program, the Provincial Steering Committee for the Elimination of Temporary and Dilapidated Houses agreed to provide support of 60 million VND per new house and 30 million VND per house for repairs; poor households unable to contribute financially could receive up to 130 million VND from the "For the Poor" Fund. By 2025, the entire province had completed the elimination of 10,801 temporary and dilapidated houses for war veterans, poor and near-poor households, and ethnic minorities under national target programs, including the construction of 7,479 new houses and the repair of 3,322 houses, achieving 100% of the plan. |
The joy of Mr. and Mrs. Thieu Manh Trong, from Dong Luong commune, in their new home.
The collective effort and solidarity of the entire society have created immense strength, transforming seemingly difficult and long-term tasks into concrete and tangible results with the motto "everyone lends a hand, every family shares a part, everyone contributes what they can, those who can contribute labor, those who can contribute resources, those who can contribute much contribute much, those who can contribute little contribute little." Besides mobilizing resources from the community and businesses, some localities have also mobilized additional support by soliciting donations of usable materials such as cement, steel, bricks, wooden doors, and furniture from families who no longer need them, to help households replace temporary or dilapidated houses; and by encouraging building material stores to sell materials at "zero profit" or at cost price, thereby contributing to alleviating the financial burden of matching funds for house construction and repair.
Each house is "a gift," "a warm home," "a loving gesture" reflecting national solidarity and brotherhood; thereby realizing the Party's policies and guidelines; affirming the humanistic values and fine moral traditions of our nation; contributing to promoting the strength of national unity, serving as a driving force for poor households to rise up and stabilize their lives, and contributing to changing the face of rural areas to become more prosperous and civilized... These solidarity houses are not only places to live, but also places to nurture hope, a foundation for each family to build a better future. From the unity of the whole society, enduring humanistic values have been affirmed, illuminating the image of the compassionate people of the ancestral land.
