Provincial Farmers' Association launched the emulation movement "Join hands to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses"

Construction of a house for Ms. Phan Thi Ghe, a farmer member with housing difficulties in Thanh My hamlet, My An commune, started.

Ben Tre province has been making efforts to implement a program to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses in the area. In 2024, the province mobilized 100.5 billion VND to support the construction of 1,802 houses for households, including 250 meritorious households and 1,552 poor households. Currently, the whole province still has nearly 3,500 households facing housing difficulties, with a total estimated implementation cost of nearly 200 billion VND. Particularly, among farmers' association members in the whole province, there are 626 households facing housing difficulties.

Speaking at the Program, Chairman of the Provincial Farmers' Association Nguyen Van Ban said: The emulation movement to join hands to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses for farmers in difficult circumstances is a humane program, demonstrating the spirit of mutual love and support of our nation, and at the same time, it is the responsibility and deep concern of the Provincial Farmers' Association for members who still have many difficulties in life.

The Chairman of the Provincial Farmers' Association called for support from organizations, individuals, benefactors, and philanthropists inside and outside the province, especially support from good farmers and businessmen at the provincial and central levels to contribute to completing the goal of building 50 houses in 2025.

The Chairman of the Provincial Farmers' Association said that the Association will implement this program in 3 phases: Phase 1 until the end of April 2025, Phase 2 until the end of July 2025 and Phase 3 until the end of September 2025. Each phase will have specific goals and detailed implementation plans to ensure the progress and effectiveness of the program.

At the Program, the Provincial Farmers' Association organized the presentation of a symbolic board to receive financial support for the removal of temporary and dilapidated houses. At the same time, the Association, together with sponsors, the Provincial Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee and local authorities, came to the groundbreaking ceremony to build a house for Ms. Phan Thi Ghe, a farmer member with housing difficulties in Thanh My Hamlet, My An Commune.

In addition, the Provincial Farmers' Association also launched the Color Production Cooperative Group, implementing the poverty reduction model in Thanh Hai commune, Thanh Phu district, including 6 farming households, with a total budget of 120 million VND supported by Mr. Dang Van Bay - billionaire farmer, owner of Bay An animal feed facility, Thanh Phong commune, in the form of a loan, for a period of 2 years.
