Thereby, helping households have solid houses, creating motivation for them to continue to rise out of poverty, constantly improve their material and spiritual life, and feel secure in their "blood and flesh" attachment to the borderland of the Fatherland. With the above practical meaning, it has received the active participation of all classes of people in the province. Although only deployed from May 13, 2023 to September 30, 2023, the Dien Bien province solidarity house building support fund has received support from 286 units, organizations and individuals with an amount of more than 2.8 billion VND.

Through this, we will contribute to propagating, educating, and arousing the spirit of national solidarity, the sense of responsibility of all classes of people, organizations, and individuals to join hands to care for ethnic minority people, revolutionary base areas, who have made many contributions and sacrifices for the cause of national liberation struggle.
