“When my husband had an accident and lost his ability to work, the family really fell into difficult circumstances in all aspects. I just hoped to have enough to eat and take care of my children's education, not daring to dream of having my own house. By 2025, thanks to the encouragement of my family, relatives and the help of trade union levels, my family has a new house to feel secure in raising and educating our children” - Ms. Hong shared.
Sharing the joy with Ms. Hong, the family of Ms. Tran Thi Thoa, a garment worker at HL Co., Ltd. (residing in Binh An commune, Ninh Binh province) burst into joy when they celebrated the Lunar New Year 2026 in a new house with a total area of more than 60m2.
Although we still have to borrow and life is still difficult, living in a solid, spacious house, my whole family feels very secure. If it weren't for the support of trade union levels, I wouldn't dare to dream of building a new house. This is truly a source of encouragement for the whole family to strive to overcome difficulties and stabilize their lives" - Ms. Thoa shared.
