Dong Nai (VNA) – Authorities in the southern province of Dong Nai have stepped up efforts to eliminate substandard houses through a support initiative targeting poor and vulnerable residents.

At a groundbreaking ceremony on April 3 in Vinh Cuu district, provincial leaders presented symbolic funding to ten households, with each receiving between 30 and 80 million VND (1,200–3,200 USD).

Chairman of the Dong Nai People’s Committee, Vo Tan Duc, said the initiative reflects the province’s strong commitment to social welfare and the national tradition of solidarity and gratitude. He urged local agencies to accelerate construction and complete all remaining houses by April 30.

As part of the programme, an additional 265 homes are set to be built by the end of April. Poor and near-poor households will receive 80 million VND each, while families with revolutionary contributions or relatives of war martyrs will be granted 120 million VND per house.

Since 2021, Dong Nai has built or repaired nearly 1,100 homes under the campaign, helping to improve living conditions for disadvantaged residents across the province./.

In the context where AI dominates and produces vast volumes of content, the only sustainable path forward for journalism is to focus on high-quality content and core values. Journalism must redefine its mission - not to report the fastest, but to provide the most profound and trustworthy value.
