Recently, in Hanoi, the Government and the Presidium of the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front organized a program to support the elimination of temporary and dilapidated houses nationwide with the theme "Warm home for my people". Vietcombank joined the program by donating 100 billion VND.
The program "Warm home for my compatriots" is organized with the desire to mobilize more support resources from businesses, agencies, organizations, groups, philanthropists, people of all walks of life in the country, and overseas Vietnamese to unite and join hands to support about 150,000 poor households and households with housing difficulties to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses in 2025.
The goal is for all people to be able to live in "3 hard" houses - hard roof, hard floor and hard wall. This is a beautiful and challenging aspiration, which can only be achieved with the joint efforts and contributions of the whole society.
Speaking at the Program, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh affirmed that our Party and State have had many mechanisms and policies on housing, but after reviewing in localities, there are still hundreds of thousands of households living in temporary and dilapidated houses, especially in remote areas, ethnic minority areas, border areas and islands. Our people have a saying "Settling down and having a career". The Party and State have a policy: Do not sacrifice fairness, social progress, social security and the environment to pursue growth alone.
On behalf of the Party and State leaders, the Prime Minister acknowledged, highly appreciated and sincerely thanked the noble gestures of the people, businesses, ministries, branches and localities that have contributed to this emulation movement of profound humanistic significance.
From now until the end of 2025, there are only about 450 days and nights left to complete the goal of eliminating all temporary and dilapidated houses, while the workload is huge. Therefore, the Prime Minister called on the entire Party, the entire people, the entire army, the entire political system and the business community to join hands, unite, accelerate, and make further breakthroughs in joining hands to eliminate all temporary and dilapidated houses with the spirit of "Whoever has something to contribute, whoever has property to contribute, whoever has merit to contribute, whoever has a lot to contribute a lot, whoever has little to contribute a little" so that all people can live in prosperity, happiness, in national love, compatriotism and no one is left behind in the era of national development.
In order for the Party and State's policies and guidelines on social security to come into life, constantly improving the material and spiritual life of all classes of people, it is necessary to synchronously implement groups of solutions, in which socialization and joint efforts of businesses and philanthropists are very necessary.
