In the days leading up to the 2026 Binh Ngo Lunar New Year, the Ninh Binh Provincial Labor Federation organized delegations to hand over money to support the construction of "Trade Union Homes" for union members and workers in difficult circumstances in the province.
Ms. Doan Thi Xuan, born in 1999, a grassroots trade union member of Dream Plastic Ninh Binh Co., Ltd. is one of the cases in particularly difficult circumstances. She is a single mother, herself suffering from a serious illness, and her family is classified as a poor household in Chat Binh commune, Ninh Binh province.
For many years, the two mothers and daughters have had to live in the dilapidated level 4 house of their parents. Understanding the difficult circumstances of the mother and daughter, the Ninh Binh Provincial Labor Federation has supported 50 million VND for her to build a new house.
Ms. Xuan shared that from the support of the Provincial Labor Federation and the Company's Trade Union, local authorities and family members, she has built a new house that is more solid and spacious.
The house was built with a total cost of 200 million VND, of which the Provincial Labor Federation supported 50 million VND, Chat Binh commune called for socialization support of 5 million VND, Phat Diem Commune Trade Union supported 5 million VND and Ninh Binh Dream Plastic Co., Ltd. supported 5 million VND... So the dream of many years of my child and me has come true. Thanks to the trade union organization, this year my child and I can celebrate Tet in our own new house" - Ms. Xuan shared.
Similarly, for Ms. Cao Thi Nga, a union member of the An Binh Coi Private Enterprise Trade Union, she was also supported by the Ninh Binh Provincial Labor Federation with 50 million VND to build a house. Ms. Nga's family is also a poor household in Quang Thien commune, her husband had an accident and is no longer able to work. She is the main breadwinner in the family, raising three young children of school age. For many years, her husband and she have had to live with her parents-in-law in a cramped level 4 house, with poor living conditions.
After surveying and grasping the actual situation, the Commune Trade Union proposed that trade union levels support the construction of a "Trade Union Shelter" house for Ms. Nga's family.
In addition to the support of 50 million VND from the Provincial Labor Federation, Quang Thien Commune People's Committee, Phat Diem Commune Trade Union, An Binh Coal Sheet Private Enterprise and the collective of officials and employees of the Retail Department of VietinBank Ninh Binh also provided additional funding to help Ms. Nga's family build a new house.
The timely support of the Trade Union organization, local authorities and units has helped my wife and I have a spacious place to live, stabilize our lives, and create conditions to feel secure in working and taking care of our children" - Ms. Nga emotionally shared.
Mr. Le Hong Minh - Vice Chairman of Ninh Binh Provincial Labor Federation said that the "Trade Union Home" Program launched by the trade union organization is an activity with profound humanistic meaning, showing the concern and responsibility of the trade union organization for union members and workers in difficult circumstances.
The program not only supports housing, helps workers stabilize their lives, but is also a great source of spiritual encouragement for union members and workers to feel secure in their work. Thereby, affirming the role of the trade union organization in caring for life, contributing to ensuring social security and spreading the spirit of solidarity and sharing in the community" - Mr. Minh shared.
