Tuyen Quang (VNA) – A delegation from the Vietnam News Agency (VNA) led by Party Committee Secretary and General Director Vu Viet Trang on June 28 visited Trung Yen commune, Son Duong district, Tuyen Quang province to provide housing support for two disadvantaged families.

The delegation handed over financial assistance to help eliminate makeshift and dilapidated houses in the area.

Speaking at the handover ceremony, Trang, who is also Chairwoman of the VNA Journalists' Association, expressed her delight that the agency was able to contribute to meaningful social initiatives aimed at improving housing conditions for vulnerable communities in line with the campaign to eliminate substandard housing nationwide launched by the Prime Minister. She emphasised that the activity reflects the agency’s long-standing humanitarian value and spirit of solidarity.

“Beyond our core mission of delivering timely and accurate news, VNA staff have always upheld the tradition of mutual support,” Trang said.
“Today’s support for two families in Trung Yen is a heartfelt gesture from the VNA community, offering encouragement and practical help to those in need. It’s especially meaningful as it coincides with Vietnamese Family Day on June 28.”

She extended best wishes to the supported families, hoping that their new homes will bring stability and motivation to improve their livelihoods.

Over the past years, Tuyen Quang province has made concerted efforts to mobilise resources to improve housing conditions for its residents. Local authorities, with support from organisations and donors, have built new homes to help ensure a better quality of life for disadvantaged households. VNA reporters have closely followed and covered these developments, contributing to raising public awareness through various media reports and photos.
