Joy from new houses for the poor in Son La

About ten years ago, going to remote communes of Son La province, it was easy to see many families living in temporary, rickety houses. Because people's lives were too difficult, they could not build solid houses for their families. Over the past years, the program to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses in Son La province has been implemented synchronously throughout the province. This program is a widespread campaign that has received the support of the entire political system in the province. The tireless efforts of authorities at all levels have brought joy to thousands of households in the province.

New houses for thousands of poor households in Son La have brought joy to the people.

Joy of new home

For the past few days, Mr. Vang A Tu in Nam Luong village, Chieng Chan commune, Mai Son district, Son La province has been going in and out of his new house without wanting to leave. Previously, his family lived in a temporary house that leaked when it rained. Because his family was so poor, he and his wife could not find any way to repair their house. In early 2025, with the support of the local government and the villagers, he and his wife were able to build a solid house.

After decades of living from hand to mouth, now that he has a new, sturdy house, he is very happy. Mr. Tu shared that farming is getting harder and harder. My wife and I try our best to only have enough to eat every day. We never thought that we would ever save enough money to build a new house. Now that dream has come true. My wife and I are very grateful to the Party, the State, and our neighbors.

A housing project for the poor is under construction.

Sharing the joy of having a new house, thanks to the policy of supporting the poor to build houses at home, Mr. Giang A Chiu's family, in Ngoc Chien commune, Muong La district, Son La) is happy and excited when they no longer have to worry about their dilapidated housing like before. As one of the poor households with especially difficult circumstances in the district that was given priority to support the temporary house demolition this time, Mr. Chiu's family's new level 4 house was completed after less than 1 month of construction.

Mr. Chiu was moved: With the financial support from the State to build a house and the support of relatives and villagers in terms of working hours, my family now has a new house. This is the motivation for my family to work hard to produce and strive to escape poverty.

In both high and low villages, there are poor households whose dilapidated and temporary houses have been removed. The people are extremely excited.
