Letter from the Chairman of Nghe An Provincial People's Committee to businesses, entrepreneurs and philanthropists about building "Great Solidarity" houses for the poor
(Baonghean) -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 been actively contributed by all levels, sectors, organizations and individuals, especially businesses, to support and help the poor.
The whole province has mobilized more than 350 billion VND, renovated and repaired more than 30 thousand houses for poor households, helped policy beneficiaries, people infected with Agent Orange, single-parent families, the elderly, homeless children; built houses of gratitude, great solidarity houses, eliminated hunger and reduced poverty... These are noble gestures, demonstrating 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.
Despite the efforts of all levels, sectors and people, due to the impact of natural disasters and calamities, the poverty rate in the province is still high (accounting for 15.61%); there are still thousands of poor households facing difficulties that need 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, choose appropriate forms of support to help the poor in Nghe An province overcome difficulties, gradually rise up and stabilize their lives.
Thank you very much!
