To date, 22 organizations have contributed over 3.3 billion VND (exceeding the set target). From these resources, the association has supported the construction of 66 houses of gratitude (each costing 50-80 million VND) for families of martyrs; visited, presented gifts, and provided savings accounts to disadvantaged policy beneficiary families; and facilitated the burial of martyrs' remains.
Building on the achievements of previous years, in 2024, the Provincial Association for Supporting Families of Martyrs will continue to do a good job of surveying and researching information about martyrs and searching for their graves and those who have rendered meritorious services to the revolution; providing information to help find the remains of martyrs and to locate and identify the graves of martyrs whose information is still incomplete; supporting families of martyrs and Vietnamese Heroic Mothers in difficult circumstances; and focusing on building and developing the membership network throughout the province.
The goal is to raise 2.5 billion VND to build 40-45 houses of gratitude; distribute 1,800 gifts; and provide 10-15 savings accounts... to families of martyrs and meritorious individuals.
On this occasion, the Vietnam Association for Supporting Families of Martyrs awarded Certificates of Merit to 2 outstanding collectives and 8 outstanding individuals for their excellent achievements in the association's work in 2023.
