allocation of 91,995 kg of rice from the national reserve to support households
facing rice shortage in between-crop period in Kim Boi, Cao Phong and Mai Chau
districts.

nurtured 231 old people, helpless children, disabled people and victims of
domestic violence and sexual abuse. In the caring process, the center maintained

In addition, the center's staff gave consultations directly, via phone, and in the
community for more than 700 people on social assistance issues, regimes,
policies and procedures for admission to social protection establishments;
procedures and dossiers for child adoption. It coordinated in organizing five communications
and skills education sessions for 350 children in the community on child abuse
prevention and control in communes and wards and a training course on social

Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs actively reviewed and proposed expanding
groups of people with extremely difficult circumstances who are yet entitled to
monthly social allowances in the community; disadvantaged people are not
eligible to be admitted to social protection establishments to provide
assistance for them. The department has directed the Divisions of Labor, War
Invalids and Social Affairs of districts and city to coordinate with post
offices in paying allowances to social protection beneficiaries in a right,
sufficient, safe and convenient manner.

Invalids and Social Affairs, said currently, the sector is organizing
activities of visiting and assisting social protection beneficiaries on the
occasion of Lunar New Year. At the same time, it is building a plan to
implement social protection work in 2020.
In the immediate future, the department will focus on giving timely assistance
to social protection beneficiaries during the Lunar New Year and the between-crop
months, while implementing fully and promptly social assistance and
preferential policies for the disadvantaged and those in need in line with law.
It will mobilize all social resources and develop community-based assistance forms
to create favorable conditions and opportunities for disadvantaged people to
overcome their difficulties and integrate into the community./.
