Chairman of Ca Mau Provincial People's Committee - Pham Thanh Ngai and Chairman of Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Ca Mau Province - Le Thanh Trieu presented a plaque of gratitude to units that provided resources to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses.

The program to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses is a major policy of the Party and State, and has been identified by Ca Mau as one of the top priority tasks that local authorities at all levels must carry out. The program has profound humanistic significance, promoting the nation's fine traditions of mutual assistance, love, and support, leaving no one behind in the country's integration and development process.

During the implementation process, Ca Mau province also resolved all cases of households having both housing and land difficulties, with 272 households in this situation being resolved.

In addition to the support fund of 60 million VND/new house and 30 million VND/repaired house, Ca Mau province and local authorities have mobilized social resources to support an additional 5 million VND/household to invest in standard toilets (total cost of more than 15.6 billion VND).

In addition to mobilizing financial resources, localities and organizations, especially the Youth Union, have established volunteer teams, mobilizing union members and young people to contribute their efforts to build and repair houses. The entire Ca Mau province has deployed about 97 volunteer teams, with more than 5,840 participants contributing more than 46,000 working days to build and repair temporary and dilapidated houses.

Thereby spreading the noble gestures in the movement to every hamlet, residential area and household,” said Mr. Hai.
