At present, part of the population are still
facing difficulties in their lives. According to the multidimensional poverty
standards for the 2022-2023 period, there are 27,091 poor households in the
entire province, accounting for 12.29% of the local population. The poor
households are in urgent need of support from the State, the community, and
businesses both in and outside the province. Among them, 3,556 households
require housing assistance.
From 2021 to September 2023, the local "For
the Poor" fund received over 80.1 billion VND (3.33 million USD). Over the
course of three years, the province raised over 15 billion VND from various
units, economic groups, and businesses in and outside the province to support
social welfare projects. During this period, the fund management board assisted
in the construction of 1,255 houses for poor households, with a total value of
over 44.5 billion VND. Additionally, 147 houses were repaired, totaling 1.69
billion VND. From January 1 to October 20, 2023, 53 organisations and three

Mutual love and support is a long-standing tradition of Vietnam. In any circumstance, the Vietnamese people always uphold the traditional spirit of staying united and supporting one another to surmount difficulties and adversities. Continuing this fine tradition, in the face of the 1945 famine, President Ho Chi Minh initiated the "Rice jar to save the hungry” movement and took the lead in implementing this campaign by abstaining from one meal each week to save rice for those without food. His example of morality and affection for people has been and is being followed by residents across Hoa Binh province.
