The Communist Youth Union of the Bank of Investment and Development of Vietnam (BIDV) coordinates with Youth Union chapters of BIDV Hoa Binh, Hoa Binh province and  Kim Boi district to present a house to the family of Bui Thi Deo, in Vay village of Thuong Tien commune, whose husband laid down his life during the resistance war against the US.

Nguyen Thanh Thuy, Deputy Director of the provincial Department of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs, said information collection was carried out at 25 martyrs’ cemeteries across the province. The portal aims to provide information on martyrs, martyrs’ graves and cemeteries, reducing difficulties of their family members in finding their relatives’ graves and easing the pain of war. It also gives support in incense offering and grave improvement during holidays and the Vietnam Invalids and Martyrs Day (July 27).

It is part of activities to express gratitude to those who sacrificed their lives for the country’s independence and freedom.

Campaigns to show respect and gratitude to those who rendered services to the nation have been effectively implemented by sectors and agencies of all levels. Revolutionary contributors and policy beneficiary families always receive due attention and support.

All the Vietnamese heroic mothers received life-time support from agencies and units. In 2017, the province paid preferential allowances worth 214 billion VND for over 9,000 revolutionary contributors and took care of 3,387 people at a budget of 4.59 billion VND. It also presented 48,849 gift packs worth 9.71 billion VND from the President and the province to those who rendered services for the nation and their relatives on special occasions and Lunar New Year. And it mobilised 1.06 billion VND for the provincial gratitude fund.

Besides, 112 new houses were built and 94 others were upgraded at a cost of 6 billion VND.
