Laughter in the new home

BHG - 5 months, 182 houses and more than 8,800 working days were mobilized, the journey to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses in Vi Xuyen district was completed one month ahead of schedule. No longer anxious when it rains or winds, the lives of poor households are opening a new chapter filled with laughter and faith in the future.

The spacious new house of Mr. Nguyen Van Loi and Mrs. Le Thi To, Xuan Phong village, Linh Ho commune, is 45 square meters wide, with a cement floor, new corrugated iron roof, solid brick walls and closed outbuildings. Everything is like a dream come true for the old couple who have lived in a temporary, damp house for many years. Mr. Loi was moved: "Now that we have a solid house, we no longer have to worry about rain, wind or leaks at night. Our dream of a peaceful home has come true." Together with Mr. Loi's family, Linh Ho commune has been proactive and flexible in implementing housing construction, completing 10 houses for poor and near-poor households ahead of schedule; propagating, mobilizing people and benefactors to support households in building outbuildings, painting, installing lighting, and planning to build vegetable gardens.

The review of households in need of support is carried out publicly, democratically, and to the right target.

The entire political system has been involved synchronously with a clear and drastic motto. We determined that this is not only about eliminating temporary and dilapidated houses for the poor, but also about building trust and a future for the people. In the coming time, the district will continue to review and propose repairing and rebuilding houses that are still in difficulty, while supporting livelihoods to help people stabilize their lives."
