Tan Ky District Fatherland Front CommitteeCharitable organizations in the district, along with benefactors, held a groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of a house for Ms. Nguyen Thi Chat and Mr. Nguyen Van Chien, residents of Hamlet 11, Nghia Hanh commune, who are poor households facing particularly difficult circumstances.

The two elderly women receiving assistance to build a house are sisters, both over 65 years old, suffering from intellectual disability, unable to work, and without family. Their only source of income is a monthly allowance of 270,000 VND per person. The frail elderly couple lived in a dilapidated house in a desolate hillside, posing a safety risk during the rainy season. Thanks to the care and support of local authorities and philanthropists, a house is being built for them, with an estimated total cost of nearly 100 million VND.

Le Van Son suffers from congenital cerebral palsy, resulting in contractures of his limbs and difficulty walking. His mother abandoned him when he was young. Given his difficult circumstances, the Fatherland Front of the district, in coordination with the District Association for the Protection of Disabled People and Orphans and the Women's Union of the commune, provided 7 million VND to help him purchase an electric wheelchair. The hope is that this will make it easier for him to move around, improve his daily life and studies, and lessen the burden on his family and relatives.

Ms. Ho Thi Thu's family is classified as a poor household. She herself suffers from illness and has young children to raise. Given this situation, the Women's Union of the commune provided 8 million VND, along with assistance from relatives, to help her family purchase livestock worth 14 million VND. Furthermore, the Women's Union, in coordination with the commune's agricultural extension service, organized training on proper care and disease prevention during the rearing process, aiming to gradually improve their income and build a more stable life.
