Towards the 2025 Patriotic Emulation Congress of Nghe An province:Joint efforts for the poor of the Vietnam Fatherland Front system in Nghe An

To achieve the national goal of multidimensional, inclusive and sustainable poverty reduction, supporting the poor to overcome the minimum living standard and access basic social services, Nghe An province has built a comprehensive action program, in which the emulation movement "For the poor - No one is left behind" is the key task.

Over the past 5 years, the movement has become a practical action, demonstrating the spirit of mutual love and determination of the entire political system and the people in the journey to gradually eliminate poverty, bringing a prosperous and happy life to the people.

“For the Poor” Fund – Wings for the Future

The “For the Poor” Fund is the most important resource, clearly demonstrating the tradition of solidarity and the spirit of “mutual love and support” of our nation. Every year, the Standing Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Nghe An province has issued a Plan to mobilize the “For the Poor” Fund, guiding localities to deploy and implement it with many creative, practical and effective ways, suitable to the practical conditions of each locality.

Immediately after the two-level government came into operation, inheriting the achieved results, the Fatherland Front Committees of localities continued to promote their core role, mobilize the strength of the great solidarity bloc, and arouse love and compassion in the community. Mr. Nguyen Anh Tuan - Chairman of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Van An commune, said: "The Fund for the Poor has received active support from all walks of life, agencies, organizations, units, businesses and philanthropists, creating resources for the work of caring for the poor. Thereby, contributing to supporting livelihoods, building houses, providing social services, adding motivation and confidence for the poor to overcome difficulties, gradually escaping poverty sustainably."

In 2023, from the Fund for the Poor, Mrs. Tran Thi Loan's family, a near-poor household in Tan Van hamlet, Tan Ky commune, received capital support to buy breeding animals and develop livestock farming. From the initial 2 breeding goats, with technical advice and disease prevention from veterinary staff and her own diligence, Mrs. Loan now has a herd of 10 goats. "Last time, when the children started the new school year, I sold 2 goats to buy books and clothes. I am very grateful for the attention of the government, the Front and the neighbors who have always helped my family," Mrs. Tran Thi Loan shared.

“

With the efforts of the entire Front system, over the past years, the "For the Poor" Fund of Nghe An province has mobilized 741.9 billion VND. The allocation of mobilized resources has always ensured transparency and efficiency, strongly spreading profound human values, bringing faith and hope to thousands of poor households.

“Tet For The Poor” -favorite meeting placeUhthank you

One of the activities that left a strong impression in the movement "Joining hands for the poor" is the program "Tet for the poor" organized by the Provincial Party Committee, People's Council, People's Committee, and Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Nghe An province on the occasion of the traditional New Year of the nation. Since 2013, with the core role, the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Nghe An province has coordinated with Nghe An Radio and Television Station, now Nghe An Newspaper and Radio and Television, to successfully deploy and organize the program, becoming a loving meeting place every time Tet comes and Spring comes.

With special meaning, the program “Tet for the poor” has lit the warm fire of humanity on the days approaching the new year, bringing faith and hope to the poor in the good things in life. The companionship and cooperation of the Front, philanthropists and businesses have contributed to helping the poor “leave no one behind”.

From 2024, the program “Tet for the Poor” was renamed “Nghia Tinh Dong Lam”. The program spreads kind hearts and shares with the poor every Tet holiday. With a longer and more distant goal, the program contributes to supporting and helping poor children go to school, the sick and unfortunate to be cared for and treated, the poor to have decent homes and sustainable livelihoods, etc.

“

Over 12 years of implementing the "Tet for the Poor" program, Nghe An province has mobilized and called for more than 873 billion VND to take care of Tet for hundreds of thousands of poor households. For the 2024 Giap Thin Tet alone, more than 143 billion VND has been mobilized, giving gifts to over 132 thousand households.

In the 2023-2024 period, Nghe An province has mobilized and supported the construction and repair of more than 11,787 houses for the poor and disadvantaged with a total resource of over 843 billion VND. This is the most vivid proof of the tradition and good morality of "loving others as you love yourself" full of humanity of Nghe An people.

“We hope that, with the help of the community in the program “Tet for the poor” and now “Nghia tinh dong Lam”, the poor and people in difficult circumstances will further promote their will to be self-reliant, self-reliant, take care of their work, thereby rising up to escape poverty sustainably” - Mr. Le Van Toan - Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Tan Ky commune shared.

Warm home from kind hearts

Responding to the movement "Eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses for the poor" launched by the Prime Minister, the Standing Committee of Nghe An Provincial Party Committee issued Directive 21-CT/TU dated February 10, 2023 on strengthening the Party's leadership in mobilizing and supporting the construction and repair of houses for the poor and people with housing difficulties.

As the Standing Committee of the Provincial Steering Committee, the Standing Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of the province together with localities, agencies and units implemented the movement synchronously and effectively. In Anh Son commune, Mr. Nguyen Huu Sang - Secretary of the Commune Party Committee affirmed: "With the participation of the entire political system and the sharing and companionship of philanthropists, businesses, and local children living in all regions of the country, we have supported poor and near-poor households to have more spacious houses. As of July 2025, the old communes of Anh Son district and Anh Son commune have now completed 100% of the houses, 1 year earlier than the plan".

Implementing the movement, localities in the province from the lowlands to the mountains have mobilized maximum resources, focusing on eliminating temporary and dilapidated houses, bringing safe and stable housing to the poor and people in difficult circumstances.

For Ms. Ngan Thi Ha, in Cu Mon hamlet, Quy Hop commune, having a house that is closed above and strong below not only improves the family's living conditions but also inspires confidence and motivation to rise up. Ms. Ha said with emotion: "Before, when it rained, the house leaked, the most feared thing was strong winds blowing the roof off and collapsing walls. I raised two children by myself, my son passed away, my daughter-in-law also left, I thought the three of us would stay single for the rest of our lives. Now that the government has supported me to build a new house, I am very happy. Without everyone's help, I don't know when I would have a decent house like now."

“

As of July 31, 2025, 105/130 communes and wards in Nghe An province have completed the program of eliminating dilapidated houses and building houses for the poor and people in difficult circumstances.
