Lac Son district has paid due attention to ensuring social welfare for people who rendered service to the nation and social protection beneficiaries.
People
who rendered service to the nation in Loc Moi street, Vu Ban town in Lac Son
district, have received housing support from the local administration.
Head of the district’s bureau of labour, invalids
and social affairs Bui The Hoa said that up to 45 billion VND (1.77 million
USD) is provided for social protection beneficiaries every year, including
supportless children aged under 16, people aged between 16 and 22 studying but
having no source of support, children with HIV, poor and near-poor parents with
small kids, lonely poor elderly, the poor and near-poor elderly living in
ethnic-minority inhabited areas.
Along with prioritising resources for the
development of socio-economy and infrastructure, the district has fully and
comprehensively carried out social welfare policies for the ethnic minority
groups, helping them get employment and improve livelihoods.
To date, its recessional credit policy has been
implemented in all communes and towns, with 7,127 poor and near-poor ethnic
minority households getting access to the loans.
In the 2019-2024 period, 55,000 ethnic minority
workers have got vocational training while 100 workers have gone abroad for
employments in recent two years.
Local ethnic minority households have received
support to access social services, including education, health care, clean
water, and information about the Party and State’s policies.
According to Vice Chairman of the district
People’s Committee Bui van Duong, the social welfare policies have contributed
to consolidating and enhancing locals’ trust in the Party and State, as well as
improving the material and spiritual lives of the residents.
In the coming time, the district will step up
social welfare and ethnic affairs work in the new situation, and popularise the
Party and State’s policies among party members and ethnic minority groups. It
will work to ensure resources for the implementation of the socio-economic
development policies, and sustainable development in areas facing special
difficulties.
