The family of Ms. Pham Thi Lien, Dan Thuan village, Ham Thanh commune (Ham Thuan Nam district) is a poor household in the commune, the family's income depends on working for hire. The old house was built a long time ago and is badly damaged, but Ms. Lien never thought she would have the conditions to repair it or build a new house. In early 2025, her family received 50 million VND from the local government's "Fund for the Poor" of the district, along with the help of labor days from relatives and neighbors, her family was able to repair the house. Having a solid place to live is the motivation for her family to continue working hard in production, striving to escape poverty sustainably.

The renovated houses become more spacious and clean.
