Appeal letter

Support and help the poor celebrate Tet Mau Tuat 2018

Dear:Party committees, authorities, mass organizations; businesses, entrepreneurs, cadres and party members

In recent years, Nghe An province has paid special attention to hunger eradication and poverty reduction, considering it one of the most important tasks. With the attention of the Party Committee, the government, agencies and units, especially the response and support of businesses and philanthropists, the poverty rate has decreased sharply, from 9.5% in 2016 to 7.3% in 2017. The support of agencies, units, the business community and philanthropists in recent times has demonstrated the nation's morality of mutual love and support.

However, up to now, the whole province still has over 66,000 poor households, including many unfortunate lives, in dire need of social help.

As the Year of the Dog comes, we hope that the poor will enjoy the joy of Tet like everyone else. We hope and call for support and assistance from agencies, businesses and philanthropists to help the poor enjoy the Spring Festival and overcome difficulties in life.

Agencies, units, organizations, individuals, business communities and philanthropists with conditions are requested to directly support poor households or through the Fatherland Front at all levels. The Provincial Fatherland Front will coordinate with Nghe An Radio and Television to organize a live television program "Tet for the Poor" to receive all support and assistance for the poor in the whole province. Agencies and units receiving support for poor communes should proactively visit, share and give gifts to the poor before December 15, 2017 (lunar calendar) and implement the plan to support poor communes from the beginning of the year.

We sincerely thank and look forward to receiving positive responses from agencies, units, the business community, philanthropists, comrades and compatriots.

Provincial Party Secretary
