To continue to effectively implement programs to support poor households and border residents, especially the program to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses launched by the Prime Minister, Mr. Vu A Bang suggested that Party committees and authorities at all levels must regularly promote the purpose and meaning of the program to build houses for poor households, thereby arousing the spirit of solidarity, mutual support and sharing. Through propaganda, each family and each poor household will understand the meaning of the program and social security policy to help the poor have a warm home, so that the poor have the motivation to rise up. From there, proactively grasp the support to implement the family's production and business plans, striving to build an increasingly prosperous life.
