Mobilizing resources for the poor to have new homes

Actively responding to the Prime Minister's movement "Joining hands to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses nationwide by 2025", Quang Nam province has mobilized all resources to help the poor have new houses, stabilize their lives, and feel secure in doing business and developing the socio-economy.

In recent days, Blup Thi Ty and her husband (Ra Bhuop village, Atieng commune, Tay Giang district, Quang Nam province) have been very happy to move into a new, solid house, no longer having to worry about the rainy and stormy season. Ty shared that before, her family lived in a makeshift thatched house, and every time it rained heavily, the whole family had to run to the commune People's Committee headquarters or the village community center to take shelter.
