Promoting the spirit of shock, volunteerism and enthusiasm of youth, in recent times, Hoa Lu district youth have carried out many activities to effectively participate in ensuring social security in the locality.
Ms. Giang Thi My, 76 years old in Dong Village, Truong Yen Commune - one of the households supported to repair houses according to Resolution 43 of the Provincial People's Council "Regulations on policies to support the construction and repair of houses for poor households in Ninh Binh province in the period of 2023-2025" said: I live alone, the older I get, the weaker my health becomes, so the house is dilapidated and degraded, there are no conditions to repair or upgrade. Faced with my difficult situation, the Commune Youth Union proactively consulted with the commune government, and at the same time coordinated with organizations to actively mobilize donors and brothers, neighbors to join in contributing labor, effort, and money to repair the house.
With the joint efforts of many forces, in May 2023, the new house was completed with an area of 30m2, worth 80 million VND. Of which, the State supported 50 million VND, the remaining amount was supported by brothers, neighbors and benefactors. During the repair process, the Commune Youth Union also supported many working days to help transport materials and arrange furniture so that the house could be completed quickly. "I am very excited and touched, thank the Party committees, authorities and organizations for caring for lonely elderly people like us" - Ms. My shared .
Young man Dinh Huu H., in Kim Phu village, Ninh Khang commune, used to be a drug addict. While studying in junior high school, Huy followed his friends' advice, neglected his studies and fell into the path of drug addiction, his future seemed bleak. Understanding Dinh Huu H.'s situation, Ninh Khang Commune Youth Union coordinated with the Commune Police and other organizations to regularly meet and propagate about the harmful effects of drugs and the consequences of drugs on family and society, from which Dinh Huu H. gradually became aware and determined to go to drug rehabilitation. After completing the drug rehabilitation course and returning to his hometown, the Commune Youth Union continued to encourage and help Huy overcome his inferiority complex, and at the same time introduced him to a job so that Dinh Huu H. could have a stable income and soon reintegrate into the community. Currently, Dinh Huu H. has opened a food shop at home with a stable income.
The above are just 2 of many cases that have been accompanied, shared and helped by the Youth Union branches in Hoa Lu district. Comrade Hoang Thi Minh Yen, Secretary of the Hoa Lu District Youth Union, said: With the spirit of volunteering for community life, over the years, the District Youth Union has directed the Youth Union branches in the whole district to regularly stay close to the grassroots, grasp the thoughts, circumstances and aspirations of people in difficult circumstances to have appropriate support solutions such as: regularly coming to support cleaning, giving necessities to former youth volunteers living alone, lonely elderly people; encouraging and giving many meaningful gifts to students in difficult circumstances, helping disadvantaged youth integrate into the community...
Volunteer activities to ensure social security of the Youth Union at all levels in the district are regularly organized, focusing on peak volunteer periods such as: Spring Volunteer, Youth Month, Summer Volunteer, Winter Volunteer... To have resources to implement volunteer activities, in addition to mobilizing the participation and contributions of union members and young people, the District Youth Union also coordinates with departments, branches, and organizations to actively mobilize donors and benefactors to support poor families, students, union members in difficult circumstances, and former youth volunteers in the district.
In 2023 alone, 210 gifts were given to poor students, Youth Union members, and former Youth Volunteers in difficult circumstances... with a total value of over 92 million VND; 15 million VND in cash was supported to build a Red Scarf house for team member Pham Duc Hieu in Ninh My commune.

In order to create a source of funds to organize gratitude activities, participate in construction works, and youth work, the District Youth Union established the "Volunteer Heart" fund in 2023. This meaningful activity initially attracted the attention and support of Youth Union members and raised nearly 30 million VND to support the Fund. In addition, it helped 23 disadvantaged youth reintegrate into the community.
With specific and practical activities, Hoa Lu youth have been contributing with all levels, sectors and localities to effectively implement social security work, contributing to reducing the poverty rate of the district in 2023 to 1.22%.
Comrade Hoang Thi Minh Yen, Secretary of Hoa Lu District Youth Union, added: Participating in ensuring social security has been one of the outstanding activities of Hoa Lu District Youth Union in recent years.

Therefore, in the coming time, the Youth Union chapters at all levels in the district will continue to widely and effectively implement volunteer movements, thereby contributing to the implementation of social security policies better and better with all levels, sectors, and localities, promoting socio-economic development in the locality.
