Representatives from Cao Phong District
Fatherland Front Committee and Thach Yen commune provide financial support for
Bui Van Quynh, a resident in Bo hamlet, helping him build a safe and durable home.
Bui Van Quynh’s family, a poor household in Bo hamlet, Thach Yen commune, lived
in a temporary house after being forced to evacuate from a landslide-prone
area. They left without compensation and the thought of building a new house
had never occurred to them. But with financial support from the fatherland front,
relatives, and community, Quynh was able to build a 70 square-metre house at a
cost of 120 million VND (5,200 USD). With the new house, Quynh’s family is
secure, and can now redirect efforts to focus on agricultural production and
better livelihoods.
Over the past years, the Fatherland Front, the government
and locals have showed respect and helped aid the poor, seeing this an
important task and a priority in district policy.
Together with support from higher levels, the fatherland front routinely launches
campaigns to mobilise support from local officials, enterprises, and
benefactors to help the impoverished build new homes.
Last year, 37 houses worth 951.7 million VND were built for the poor, 210
million VND of which came from the province’s fund for the poor, 255 million VND
from district and communes’ funds for the poor, and 486.7 million VND from
local organisations and benefactors.
In the first quarter of 2022, five houses worth 110
million VND were handed over to impoverished households in Thach Yen and Hop
Phong communes.
According to Chairman of the Cao Phong District Fatherland Front Committee
Nguyen Cong Minh, programme on building houses for the poor has received
enthusiastic support from the community. The constructions provide motivation
and inspiration for those less fortunate to try their best and overcome
challenges to have better livelihoods.
The fatherland front has worked to ensure the fund for the poor is used and
distributed in a timely fashion and in line with current regulations, Minh said.
Committees at communal levels are asked to examine locals’ housing conditions
and their economic status to verified those that needs support.
In the coming time, the district’s Fatherland Front Committee
will continue to mobilising community support for the fund for the poor, Minh
stressed./.
