Letter from the Chairman of Nghe An Provincial People's Committee to businesses and philanthropists about building "Great Unity" houses for the poor
(Baonghean)-Hunger eradication and poverty reduction is a major policy of our Party and State. Implementing that policy, responding to the call of the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front, over the past 10 years, the "Day for the Poor" Campaign in our province has received active contributions from all levels, sectors, organizations and individuals, especially businesses, to support and help the poor, with the amount of money mobilized being over 300 billion VND.
That amount of money has been used to build and repair more than 25,000 houses for poor households, help policy beneficiaries, people infected with Agent Orange, single-parent families, the elderly, homeless children; build houses of gratitude, solidarity houses, eliminate hunger and reduce poverty... These are noble gestures that demonstrate the cultural traditions of the nation, of the homeland and the spirit of mutual love, solidarity to help each other overcome difficulties and hardships.
I warmly commend and welcome the noble gestures and kind hearts that have helped the poor over the years.
Due to the consequences of war, natural disasters, calamities..., the poverty rate in Nghe An is still high (according to the new standard, it is still 20.6%), currently there are over 114 thousand poor households facing difficulties and needing help. To share difficulties and continue to help the poor more, I earnestly call on businesses, entrepreneurs and philanthropists with a heart for their homeland and the poor in Nghe An to continue to respond to the Campaign to Support the construction of "Great Unity" houses for the poor launched by the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Nghe An province. Depending on their conditions, each business and philanthropist chooses a suitable form of support to help the poor in Nghe An province overcome difficulties, gradually rise up and stabilize their lives.
Wishing the business community and philanthropists health, happiness and success!
Thanks and best regards!
Chairperson
Ho Duc Phuc
