With the philosophy of "remembering the source of water when drinking", the Fatherland Front at all levels in the province regularly pays attention to policies for meritorious people and mobilizes all people to actively participate in the "Repaying gratitude" movements.
In the past 5 years, the "Repaying gratitude" movement has received the consensus and positive response of all classes of people, agencies, units, local departments and organizations. There are 81 agencies, units, enterprises, schools, and social organizations registered to support 161 Vietnamese Heroic Mothers for life. The whole province has also mobilized over 65 billion VND from the "Repaying gratitude" Fund to build nearly 3,000 new gratitude houses, repair and upgrade nearly 8,000 gratitude houses for families with preferential policies; build and renovate 70 cemeteries, memorials, martyrs' steles, and martyrs' steles.
