The province is striving to complete the repair and construction of about 450 houses and hand over them to the needy before the Lunar New Year 2019. “People often say that ‘To live and work in peace and contentment’ so having a solid home is the first thing that the poor need to rise up in life, "Thang stressed.

In many localities, the movement to support the building of the "Great Unity" houses has been implemented by the fatherland fronts at all levels, unions and organizations. Hiep Hoa is one of the districts appreciated for the campaign’s outcomes. 

Representatives of agencies, units and enterprises support the Fund for the Poor launched by the provincial Fatherland Front Committee.

Recently, the district mobilization board for the Fund for the Poor presented 20 million VND to the family of Nguyen Thi Loan (born in 1958) in Tan Ket village, Duc Thang commune to build a house. The condition of her family is very difficult. Her health is not good but she has to take care of her daughter and grandchildren who are often sick, with expensive treatment costs. Her house seriously degrades but she has no money to repair it.

For the campaign to achieve high results, the fatherland fronts at all levels in the province will continue to coordinate with agencies and member organizations to further promote communication work and attract the attention of local people, including those living and learning in other localities in the country and abroad. In particular, they will try to mobilize maximum resources to complete the goal of eliminating about 450 temporary and dilapidated houses for handover to the needy families before the Lunar New Year 2019.
