The highland and border area of Quang Nam includes the two districts of Tay Giang and Nam Giang, which is home to a large number of ethnic minorities: Co Tu, Ve, Ta Rieng...

In order for the people here to have stable housing and peace of mind to develop the economy and society, over the past years, the Party Committee and the Border Guard Command of Quang Nam province have directed units to do a good job of mobilizing cadres and people in the border area to actively respond with the spirit of "whoever has something contributes, whoever has merit contributes, whoever has property contributes, whoever has a lot contributes a lot, whoever has little contributes a little".

The units also advised the Party Committee and the commune government to direct the commune and village unions to carefully review the area, specifically and in detail, with the requirement of "3 no's" (no wrong subjects; no omissions; no petitions or complaints).

Perhaps the happiest day in the life of Mr. Hoih Dau, a member of the Co Tu ethnic group in the border commune of Tr'Hy, Tay Giang district, was the inauguration day of his family's new house. For decades, Mr. Hoih Dau's family has lived in a temporary house surrounded by bamboo and thatch walls.

At the end of 2024, with support of 50 million VND from Tr'Hy Border Guard Station, his family borrowed more from relatives and children and built a solid house on an area of 180 square meters, with a corrugated iron roof and tiled floors... Not only receiving financial support, Mr. Hoi Dau's family also received support from officers and soldiers of the Border Guard Station in coordination with local Youth Union members for construction work days.

Major Trinh Van Duc - Deputy Political Commissar of Tr'Hy Border Guard Station said that with the spirit of "fastest, most effective, most economical", from October 2024 to now, the unit has mobilized funds from organizations and individuals inside and outside the force to support people in the two communes of A Xan and Tr'Hy to build 6 houses, with a total value of 300 million VND.

In addition, officers and soldiers also came to help people with hundreds of working days to build solid houses, contributing to speeding up the elimination of temporary and dilapidated houses in the area, bringing the program to the finish line early.

With the drastic participation of the entire political system, the consensus and support of local people, since the beginning of 2025, the Border Guard Stations under the Quang Nam Provincial Border Guard Command have supported the construction of 25 new houses, at a cost of 50-100 million VND/house, helping poor households in the border area improve their housing. In addition, more than 300 officers and soldiers have contributed 1,767 working days to build houses...

Each new house completed means that a poor household will have a stable place to live, thereby feeling secure in working and rising out of poverty; further strengthening the trust of our compatriots in the border areas of the Fatherland.
