Tra Vinh (VNA) - Nearly 100 more houses of the over 3,200 built as part of the movement “Mai Am Cho Dong Bao Toi” (Houses for Our Compatriots) were transferred to poor and near-poor households, families with difficult circumstances, and policy families in the Mekong Delta province of Tra Vinh on October 9.

Speaking at a ceremony, Vice Chairman of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Tra Vinh chapter Pham Van Cuong said the locality had mobilised many resources to build and upgrade houses for thousands of local disadvantaged households.

In the past nine months, over 3,200 gift houses worth 180 billion VND (7.24 million USD) were completed, using the sources of the Ministry of Public Security and the locality’s social welfare fund.

Most recently, the ministry inaugurated and transferred 1,300 houses of the total to local residents.

By the end of 2023, Tra Vinh still had 3,416 poor households and 6,773 near-poor families, accounting for 1.19% and 2.35% of the total households in the province, respectively.

Currently, there are over 7,000 households still facing difficulty with accommodation.

Tra Vinh is seeking support from organisations, agencies, businesses, and donors to implement social welfare policies, caring for the poor and those in difficult circumstances, towards doing away with temporary and fixing dilapidated houses in the locality by 2025, Cuong said./.
