Tay Ninh (VNA) – ꦬThe southern province of Tay Ninh is ramping up efforts to remove and rebuild temporary and dilapidated houses in border areas, aiming to provide stable living conditions for disadvantaged families.
This aligns with the nationwide campaign launched under the Prime Minister’s initiative, “Joining Hands to Eliminate Temporary and Dilapidated Houses by 2025.”
As part of this programme, a groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of 22 new homes for impoverished families in Tay Ninh’s border region took place on March 29. It is spearheaded by the Fund for the Poor of Tan Chau district, in collaboration with Hung Nhon Group, De Heus Group of Netherlands, and Tay Ninh’s National Assembly delegation.
Standing on the land where her new home will soon be built, 59-year-old Tran Thi Ngoan from Tan Ha commune, Tan Chau district, could not contain her emotions. Life along the border is challenging, with livelihoods often uncertain. For her, having a solid house that can withstand the elements has been a lifelong dream.
"Now, that dream has come true," Ngoan said, adding that this house will not only protect her family from the weather but also inspire them to work towards a better future.
According to Vu Manh Hung, Chairman of Hung Nhon Group, the construction of these 22 homes, worth a total of 2 billion VND (78,200 USD), is more than just an act of charity but is their corporate responsibility to the community.
"A sturdy house provides more than just shelter; it serves as a foundation for families to settle down, focus on their livelihoods, and break free from poverty," Hung stated.
Nguyen Quoc Cuong, Chairman of the People’s Committee of Tan Chau district, emphasised that in recent years, local authorities, businesses, and residents have joined hands to implement various social welfare initiatives, including the eradication of substandard housing. The above-mentioned 22 homes are expected to be completed by April 30, 2025.
Once completed, these will be the last temporary and dilapidated homes in the district to be replaced, ensuring that all families have a stable place to live, Cuong affirmed.
He further noted that local authorities are actively working to establish partnerships with businesses to create job opportunities, helping residents achieve long-term economic stability./.
In Vietnam’s case, she said, President Ho Chi Minh demonstrated his strategic vision by founding the revolutionary press a century ago. The late leader understood the press's role not only as a means to reflect the country’s realities but also as a powerful tool to strengthen national unity and inspire the resistance wars and national construction process.

In the context where AI dominates and produces vast volumes of content, the only sustainable path forward for journalism is to focus on high-quality content and core values. Journalism must redefine its mission - not to report the fastest, but to provide the most profound and trustworthy value.
Granma and the VNA have great potential for cooperation, especially in sharing content regularly, so that VNA products are published on Granma platforms and vice versa, thereby helping Cuban and Vietnamese people access true information and gain a deep understanding of each other's country and people.
During his stay in China’s Guangzhou city from 1924 to 1927 to prepare for the establishment of a Communist Party to lead Vietnam’s revolution, President Ho Chi Minh founded “Thanh nien” newspaper and released its first issue on June 21, 1925.

Since President Ho Chi Minh founded Thanh Nien (Young People) newspaper in 1925, the Vietnamese revolutionary press has become the voice of the people.

The total investment exceeded 319 billion VND (12.2 million USD), including over 261 billion VND from the state budget and 57.5 billion VND mobilised from businesses, organisations, and individuals.

Throughout its 80-year history, the VNA has remained at the forefront of information dissemination. It has consistently delivered timely, accurate, and objective reports on both domestic and international events, serving the Party’s leadership, the State’s management, and the public’s demand for official news.
With strong support from local authorities, businesses, organisations, and residents, the province has successfully built or repaired 10,707 homes for disadvantaged households, including war veterans, families of martyrs, ethnic minority people, and low-income residents.
Throughout its resistance against colonialists and imperialists, Vietnam developed a revolutionary press that has served as a benchmark for just and legitimate causes worldwide.
