(HBO) – In response to the emulation movement of "The whole nation joins hands for the poor – leaving no one behind”, all-level authorities, sectors, agencies, units, enterprises, and localities in Hoa Binh province have mobilised resources to help the poor weather difficulties and move forwards.

 

 Leaders of the provincial People’s Council, the provincial Vietnam Fatherland Front (VFF) Committee, and Tan Lac district present gifts financed by the Fund for the Poor to disadvantaged students of Nam Son Primary and Junior High School in Van Son commune, Tan Lac district.


There are 27,091 poor households in Hoa Binh province at present, accounting for 12.29% of the local total. Tran Duc Truong, Vice Chairman of the provincial VFF Committee and deputy head of the province’s board for mobilising donations to the Fund for the Poor, said that over the past years, the provincial VFF Committee’s Standing Board has built plans for implementing the movement.

He noted VFF committees at all levels and member organisations have been instructed to raise donations from agencies, organisations, enterprises, schools, and philanthropists to the needy and the Fund for the Poor in the province. They have also been ordered to grasp the situation and backgrounds of local residents, low-income households, and those at risk of poverty relapse to offer timely assistance.

Since September 2022, 260 units in and outside the province have donated more than 23.6 billion VND (960,900 USD) to the Fund for the Poor. The fund management board has allocated nearly 21.5 billion VND for building 387 houses, presenting gifts to poor families, and granting scholarships to disadvantaged students. The donations raised were over 13 billion VND more than that last year.

The donation to and assistance for the poor are regular, but the peak is the Month for the Poor. To prepare for this year’s Month for the Poor (from October 17 to November 18), the provincial VFF Committee’s Standing Board and the provincial board for raising donations to the Fund for the Poor have built a plan, given fundraising guidance to all-level VFF committees and member organisations, coordinated to survey poor and disadvantaged households, and called for enterprises and philanthropists’ support for the impoverished.

Truong affirmed that the Fund for the Poor has been managed and used in line with regulations and in a transparent manner. The resources mobilised will be used to build and repair houses for poor people, help the needy purchase production materials and tools, support livelihood models to help with sustainable poverty reduction, and assist in building essential facilities for the poor.
