Recently, the Standing Committee of Ben Tre Provincial Youth Union has mobilized funds to build 15 houses in the province with a budget of 900 million VND and districts and cities have mobilized 21 houses, repaired 1 house with a budget of 1 billion 280 million VND. Notably, in the "Summer Youth Volunteer" Campaign of Ben Tre province in 2025, the Standing Committee of the Provincial Youth Union also coordinated with many units to receive support to build 200 houses with a budget of 12 billion VND.

Not only calling and mobilizing, Ben Tre's youth union members also directly rolled up their sleeves to join in. The Standing Committee of Ben Tre Provincial Youth Union has directed 100% of the commune-level Youth Unions in the province to establish a Youth Shock Team, ensuring that there are at least 15 permanent members and youths to support labor days, transport construction materials and help repair and build new houses. As a result, the whole province has established and deployed 148 Youth Shock Teams with more than 2,500 union members and youths participating. In addition, Ben Tre Provincial Youth Union also established a Zalo group to grasp the daily deployment situation, promptly direct and encourage union members and youths.

Towards people having a better life

Currently, Ben Tre is aiming for sustainable poverty reduction, not only stopping at eliminating temporary housing but also creating conditions for people to have a better life.

Mr. Phan Thanh Tre, Deputy Secretary of Ben Tre Provincial Youth Union, said that in order for the movement "Joining hands to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses" to continue to be effective and spread widely, the Provincial Youth Union Standing Committee has proposed many solutions. Specifically, the Provincial Youth Union will promote propaganda work in a close direction, associating each eliminated house with a humane story about the family's circumstances; about the household's journey to overcome difficulties, in order to spread the meaning of the movement to all people. Along with that, pay attention to, consolidate and promote the role of Youth Volunteer teams in localities, in which the core is union members and local youth.

According to the Deputy Secretary of the Ben Tre Provincial Youth Union, in order to achieve the goal of sustainable poverty reduction, the youth union will coordinate with functional agencies and local authorities to conduct surveys and grasp the labor and employment needs of households that have just received housing support. On that basis, vocational training classes will be organized, livelihood support will be provided, helping people have production skills suitable to their family conditions, taking advantage of the new house as a basis for economic development and escaping poverty.

In addition, one of the important tasks in the current digital age is to equip digital skills for people in rural areas, especially households that have just received support for new houses. In particular, promoting the role of "Digital Literacy" teams in communes and wards to guide people to access digital technology in a simple and familiar way. Along with that, helping people grasp basic skills to serve daily life, gradually moving towards developing production in a modern and sustainable direction.

Mr. Tre emphasized that the emulation movement "Joining hands to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses" is a vivid expression of the precious tradition of "helping each other" of our nation. "With youthful strength, pioneering spirit and responsibility, Ben Tre youth will continue to strive and join hands to contribute to building the homeland of Coconut more and more prosperous and beautiful", Mr. Tre shared.
