(HBO) – With the motto "join hands for the sake of the poor – Leave no one behind”, the Fatherland Front chapter of Hoa Binh, which manages the province’s "Fund for the Poor”, has issued guiding documents on fundraising.
With
the support of the fund for the poor, Bui Thi Bem, a resident of Lai village of
Tay Phong commune (Cao Phong district), is able to build a stable house.
Various
firms, organisations and individuals in the province and other localities
donated to the fund in response to the call, especially in peak time. Major
corporations of Vietnam also contributed to the fund at the provincial level,
including the T&T Group, the FLC Group and the Vietnam Oil and Gas Group.
In
2019, more than 14.9 billion VND (nearly 640,000 USD) was raised for the funds
at all levels, of which 8.5 billion VND was from 143 organisations and
individuals for the provincial level, 3 billion VND for the fund at the
district level, and 3.2 billion VND for the commune level.
The fund aims to help local people overcome poverty, contributing to the
sustainable poverty alleviation target. Therefore, its distribution needs to
follow regulations and avoid misuse. The selection of beneficiaries must be in
line with guidelines of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Central Committee.
As
many as 208 new houses were built and 104 others repaired thanks to the
funding, while poor students also received support. Due attention was paid to
locals on the traditional Lunar New Year holiday.
Models
of growing pumpkins for seed and raising cattle have been carrying out in Du
Sang and Kim Boi communes (Kim Boi district) in an effort to realise the
target.
In
addition, the Fatherland Front committees at all levels have called for
donation of construction materials, calves and labour days to assist poor
households, with an aim to reduce the province’s poverty rate to 11.36 percent.
In the
coming time, the management board of the fund for the poor will continue
fundraising activities, striving to raise at least 8 billion VND annually.
More than 50 percent of the assistance will be earmarked for the construction
and reparation of houses, thus enabling people to take a stable control of
their lives.
The province’s Fatherland Front chapter will review tasks on sustainable
poverty reduction and economic models. Along with due attention from the Party,
State and social support, poor families and people in the province are urged to
exert efforts in escaping poverty./.

Mutual love and support is a long-standing tradition of Vietnam. In any circumstance, the Vietnamese people always uphold the traditional spirit of staying united and supporting one another to surmount difficulties and adversities. Continuing this fine tradition, in the face of the 1945 famine, President Ho Chi Minh initiated the "Rice jar to save the hungry” movement and took the lead in implementing this campaign by abstaining from one meal each week to save rice for those without food. His example of morality and affection for people has been and is being followed by residents across Hoa Binh province.
