Support the poor to build solid houses
Taking us to many areas in Dak Nia commune, Ms. Le Thi Yen - the officer in charge of the Cultural - Social sector of the commune was very proud. Because in recent years, the face of the countryside and villages of the locality has changed a lot, with asphalt and concrete roads reaching all the way to the villages and hamlets.
Many villages and hamlets meet new rural standards, with clean and beautiful village roads and alleys, close to hospitals, schools, and commune health stations.
In particular, the makeshift houses and mud walls of the past are no longer there. Instead, there are solid concrete roofs, covered with cool corrugated iron.
Ms. H'Bot, residing in Bon Bu Sop, Dak Nia commune, said: "In 2023, Vietcombank sponsored 70 million VND to help my mother's family (Mrs. H'Brai) build a house. Thanks to this cozy roof, my sisters and mother have a stable life, have a place to shelter from the sun and rain so that they can go to the fields to work with peace of mind."
At the age of 53, every day Mrs. H'Brai still regularly goes to the fields to take care of coffee and grows cassava for hire for other households to earn extra income.
“If I had only relied on the small area from selling coffee, I probably would not have dreamed of living in such a beautiful house in my whole life. Thanks to the support and favorable conditions from benefactors and the commune government, the house is a great asset for the family,” said Ms. H’Brai.
Empowering the poor to develop the economy
At noon, Bon Bu Sop was deserted because it was coffee picking season and farmers were working hard in the fields. There were only old people and children in the village.
Through observation, most of the houses here have been solidly built, clean and beautiful, with flags, banners, and propaganda signs of policies and guidelines hanging in the wind, showing the spirit of labor production and the spirit of the new countryside...
Ms. H’Mhao, a resident of Bu Sop village, shared: “7 years ago, my family was very poor. During the rainy season, water leaked from the wooden walls. The whole family slept in makeshift shelters in a small kitchen of about 10 square meters.”
After that, Dak Nia commune officials went to the base and encouraged Mrs. H’Mhao’s family to try to increase production and save money to build a house. After that, Mrs. H’MHao was sponsored 70 million VND for the disadvantaged to build a house.
Inviting guests into the new house that still smells of paint, Mrs. H’Mhao happily said that since the house was built, her children no longer have to take shelter in the kitchen. The children have their own study corner and a spacious, airy bedroom to rest after school.
According to the representative of the People's Committee of Dak Nia commune, Gia Nghia city, social security policies for poor and near-poor households in the area are all implemented promptly by commune officials, to the right people and right subjects.
From 2020 to present, with the attention and direction of Gia Nghia City People's Committee, the commune government mobilized socialized resources and proposed to sponsors to build 19 new houses for poor and near-poor households to put into use, with a total value of 1 billion 250 million VND.
Sponsors and campaigners to help poor and near-poor households build houses include: City Red Cross Society, People's Court and City Police, Dak Nong Agribank, Provincial Women's Union, Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Gia Nghia City, Army Corps 16...
According to assessments, having a new roof has helped ethnic minorities settle down and make a living. Political security and social order have been maintained.
Above all, the house of love has helped households stabilize their thinking, focus on business and economic development. Thereby, gradually escaping poverty, bad customs and backwardness to gradually improve their lives.
