Helping workers in difficult circumstances stabilize their lives
Mr. Trinh Van An - Chairman of the Trade Union of Vang Danh Coal Joint Stock Company (Quang Ninh) - said that implementing the Decision of the TKV Trade Union on housing support from the MACD Fund in 2025, by the end of 2025, 5 workers' families had been supported to build new houses, each family was supported with 90 million VND from the TKV MACD Fund, 20 million VND from the Company Fund and 5 million VND from the Company's Trade Union Fund; the remaining 1 family was supported with funds from the Company's Fund and the Company's Trade Union Fund, promptly helping workers overcome housing difficulties.
According to Mr. An, the families of workers supported all have particularly difficult circumstances. For example, the family of Mr. Le Duy Lien, worker of Workshop K5, has had to live in a low-rise level 4 house for many years, often flooded every time it rains heavily. Mr. Lien is the main breadwinner, his wife has no stable job, the family raises 5 young children, including one child with congenital ventricular distension, life is always in a state of shortage; Ms. Vu Thi Thuy, worker of Life Workshop - for many years has never had a private house, has to rent a room. Ms. Thuy alone raises 2 young children, low income, life is still very precarious, but she still persistently sticks to work, strives to rise up; the family of Mr. Nguyen Van Du, worker of Workshop VTG1, lives in a seriously degraded house. After the divorce, Mr. Duy alone raises two children who are in 8th and 10th grade.

The MCD support program implemented by TKV Trade Union has become a widespread social activity, showing the spirit of solidarity and mutual affection. The program contributes to realizing the dream of settlement for union members and workers in difficult circumstances. Each completed MCD is a great joy not only for workers, but also for those working in trade unions, especially during Tet and Spring, as Mr. Le Thanh Xuan, Chairman of TKV Trade Union, shared.
