(HBO) – In response to the emulation movement of "The whole nation joins hands for the poor – leaving no one behind”, all-level authorities, sectors, agencies, units, enterprises, and localities in Hoa Binh province have mobilised resources to help the poor weather difficulties and move forwards.
Leaders of the provincial People’s Council, the
provincial Vietnam Fatherland Front (VFF) Committee, and Tan Lac district
present gifts financed by the Fund for the Poor to disadvantaged students of
Nam Son Primary and Junior High School in Van Son commune, Tan Lac district.
There are 27,091 poor households in Hoa Binh
province at present, accounting for 12.29% of the local total. Tran Duc Truong, Vice Chairman of the provincial
VFF Committee and deputy head of the province’s board for mobilising donations
to the Fund for the Poor, said that over the past years, the provincial VFF
Committee’s Standing Board has built plans for implementing the movement.
He noted VFF committees at all levels and member
organisations have been instructed to raise donations from agencies,
organisations, enterprises, schools, and philanthropists to the needy and the
Fund for the Poor in the province. They have also been ordered to grasp the
situation and backgrounds of local residents, low-income households, and those
at risk of poverty relapse to offer timely assistance.
Since September 2022, 260 units in and outside
the province have donated more than 23.6 billion VND (960,900 USD) to the Fund
for the Poor. The fund management board has allocated nearly 21.5 billion VND for
building 387 houses, presenting gifts to poor families, and granting
scholarships to disadvantaged students. The donations raised were over 13
billion VND more than that last year.
The donation to and assistance for the poor are
regular, but the peak is the Month for the Poor. To prepare for this year’s
Month for the Poor (from October 17 to November 18), the provincial VFF
Committee’s Standing Board and the provincial board for raising donations to
the Fund for the Poor have built a plan, given fundraising guidance to
all-level VFF committees and member organisations, coordinated to survey poor
and disadvantaged households, and called for enterprises and philanthropists’
support for the impoverished.
Truong affirmed that the Fund for the Poor has
been managed and used in line with regulations and in a transparent manner. The
resources mobilised will be used to build and repair houses for poor people,
help the needy purchase production materials and tools, support livelihood
models to help with sustainable poverty reduction, and assist in building
essential facilities for the poor.
In the afternoon of January 15th, at the Industrial Park of the Left Bank of Da River, the Trade Union of the Provincial Industrial Parks organized the program "Reunion Tet – the Spring Being Grateful to the Party” in 2025.
On January 9th, the Department of Education and Training held a conference to summarize the school year of 2024, reviewing the semester I and deploy tasks for 2025, semester II of the 2024-2025 school year. There was the attendance of Mr. Nguyen Van Chuong, the Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee.
In the spirit of mutual support, charitable groups and donors in and outside Hoa Binh province have come together and joined hands with local authorities and organisations to hold meaningful, humanitarian activities for the poor, vulnerable, and those in need, spreading love and kindness from the "golden hearts" in the community.
The "Volunteer Youth" movement is the pride of Vietnamese youth. Along with the spread of the movement in Hoa Binh province, the volunteer youth movement in Lac Son district has many imprints, creating a vibrant emulation atmosphere for the youth, contributing to building a rich and civilised homeland.
Kim Boi district, a revolutionary land rich in cultural heritage, is "awakening” with major opportunities to become a tourism and eco-urban hub in Hoa Binh province and the region as a whole.
Thanks to the support of local authorities, Hoa Binh’s education system continues to achieve significant progress, contributing to meeting comprehensive reform targets and students' learning needs as well as supplying high-quality human resources for the province.
