Small village mobilized 500 million VND to build concrete roads

In Met hamlet, Nghia Khanh commune (Nghia Dan), these days, the movement to build roads has been joined by the people. The whole hamlet still has 1.6 km of dirt road. Therefore, the hamlet management board has called on each household to contribute 2-3 working days and 420 thousand VND per person to buy materials to pour concrete on the village road.

Mr. Hoang Nghia Triem, a resident of Met hamlet, said: “Currently, the road is not yet completed, we are willing to contribute human and financial resources to make the road and walkways spacious and clean. I myself have mobilized my children and grandchildren to dismantle and move the construction to make room for the road.”

Previously, some roads in the hamlet were muddy and difficult to travel, so the hamlet management board held a meeting to find a way to expand the rural roads. Within 1 month, 174 households contributed more than 500 million VND. In addition, to save costs, people in the hamlet contributed hundreds of workers to complete the remaining roads in the area.

Ms. Phan Thi Hai - Party Cell Secretary and Head of Met Hamlet, Nghia Khanh Commune excitedly said: "I did not think that in such a short time we could mobilize people to contribute to building the remaining roads. Because Met Hamlet is a purely agricultural hamlet, we also encountered certain difficulties during the implementation process. However, thanks to persistent mobilization and persuasion, people saw the benefits of building roads and were happy to do it."
