Lighting up the country roads with the energy of youth.

As night falls, many previously dimly lit rural roads are now brightly illuminated by solar-powered streetlights. Behind these projects lies the collective effort of youth union members and social resources, contributing to changing the face of rural areas and improving the quality of life for the people.

The Youth Union of Hung Yen Power Company inaugurated the "Lighting up rural roads" project in Hong Quang commune.

At the end of March 2026, residents of Thong Nhat village (Than Khe commune) were delighted when the 1.5km long road in their village officially received a solar-powered lighting system. The project, consisting of 22 streetlights, was installed using funds raised through social mobilization by the commune's Youth Union.

Since the installation of the streetlights, people's travel has become more convenient and safer, especially at night. Mr. Hoang Van Diet, Secretary of the Thong Nhat Village Party Branch, said: "Previously, many sections of the village lacked lighting, making nighttime travel difficult for residents. Since the streetlights were installed, security and order have improved, and the risk of traffic accidents has significantly decreased. The villagers are very happy because the rural landscape is becoming brighter, more beautiful, and more civilized."

The people of Than Khe commune are delighted that the "Lighting up the rural roads" projects have been put into use.

Than Khe is one of the localities that has effectively implemented the "Lighting Up Rural Roads" program. From the beginning of 2026 to the present, the Youth Union of the commune has carried out 5 projects with a total length of nearly 9.5km, installing 91 solar-powered streetlights, with a total cost of nearly 120 million VND.

Mr. Bui Quang Tao, Secretary of the Youth Union of Than Khe commune, shared: "To implement the projects, the commune's Youth Union proactively surveyed roads lacking lighting, mobilized social resources, and promoted the pioneering role of union members and young people. Thanks to its practical effectiveness, the program has received the consensus and support of the people and the children of the homeland."
