The event, jointly held by the Central
Emulation and Commendation Council and the Presidium of the Vietnam Fatherland

Chinh, who is also Chairman of the council, acknowledged the results of the
work concerning temporary and dilapidated houses over the past years, but

poor or near-poor who need housing assistance, mainly in far-flung, border, and
island areas.
He called for the mobilisation of resources
from the State, society, businesses, and citizens; and stressed the need for
effective mechanisms and policies and the assurance of quality of the
construction, serving the right beneficiaries and ensuring transparency and
efficiency without corruption and wastefulness.
Furthermore, the leader also recommended

nation.
Responding to the VFF Central Committee
President’s appeal, Chairman of the Hoa Binh People’s Committee Bui Van Khanh
stressed the province’s determination to complete the work by 2025.
At the event, 14 organisations, businesses,
and individuals pledged to donate a total of 376 billion VND (14.8 million
USD), a sum enough to construct 7,520 new houses. The first allocation of funds
will prioritise 40 provinces with high poverty rates.
Following the ceremony, PM Chinh, along
with other Party, State, and provincial leaders, presented gifts and attended
the ground-breaking of six houses for the poor in Cao Son, Tu Ly, Hien Luong,

In the spirit of "Party members go first, the people follow”, all households of Party members in the Doan Ket sub-region in Da Bac town, Da Bac district, voluntarily removed gates and fences, and donated land when the road expansion project passed through their properties. Inspired by their example, 68 households in the sub-region quickly followed suit, contributing over 1,400 sq.m of residential and perennial cropland to widen the main road through the residential area. The exemplary role of Party members in Doan Ket stands as a shining example of studying and following President Ho Chi Minh’s thought, morality, and lifestyle.
