JOIN HANDS FOR THE POOR - LEAVE NO ONE BEHIND

Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Nguyen Duc Trung informed that Nghe An province still has more than 34,000 poor households and nearly 54,000 near-poor households. Among them, many households are unable to work to escape poverty, many are in difficult, unfortunate, and sick lives. Many poor households in remote, isolated, coastal, and beach areas are facing extremely difficult lives and need the support and assistance of the community and society.
