Quang Tri (VNA) – The Quang Tri provincial Border Guard Command, in collaboration with local authorities and sponsors, handed over 100 newly-built homes to poor ethnic minority households in Truong Son commune on August 27, coinciding with Vietnam’s 80th National Day (September 2).

The activity was part of a broader programme to eradicate temporary and dilapidated housing. The Border Guard Command was tasked with building 256 houses for ethnic minority communities across Dan Hoa, Truong Son, and Kim Ngan communes. After nearly three months of construction, most of these houses, including all 100 in Truong Son, have been completed.

The new residences in Truong Son are designed to meet standards for safety, durability, functionality, and aesthetics, while incorporating local traditions. Costing a total of 12 billion VND (461,000 USD), they were funded through the national target programme for socio-economic development in ethnic minority and mountainous areas, supplemented by public contributions raised by the Vietnam Fatherland Front’s provincial chapter, including donations from Vingroup’s Thien Tam (Kind Heart) Foundation.

During the handover ceremony, authorities also distributed gifts to residents of Rin Rin village in Truong Son commune./.
