The year 2023 is a journey full of difficulties and
challenges, thanks to the solidarity, unity, high determination, and efforts of
the entire political system; the consensus and unanimity of the enterprise

The province has completed many major tasks, creating a
very important premise for the province's development in 2024 and the following

Assembly Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue presents gifts to 15 disadvantaged households
Social security is paid attention to by party committees
and authorities; actively contributed and supported by agencies, units, enterprises,
entrepreneurs, philanthropists and people. In particular, through the Program
to mobilize and support the construction and repair of houses for the poor and
people with difficult housing circumstances, in 2023 alone, it have supported
the construction and repair of 7,517 houses for the poor, with total mobilized
resources of over 523 billion VND.
Taking care of Tet for poor households, near-poor
households, and households in difficult circumstances is a task that the entire
political system of Nghe An province, organizations, individuals, and enterprises
regularly pay attention to. After
11 years of implementing the "Tet for the poor" program, Nghe An
province has raised more than 726 billion VND to take care of Tet for hundreds
of thousands of poor households.
Particularly for Tet Quy Mao 2023,
the whole province mobilized more than 137 billion VND, giving gifts to more
than 188 thousand poor households, near-poor households and families under
preferential treatment policy, social protection beneficiaries, on average,
each gift has a minimum value of 500,000 VND, etc.
This is a meaningful activity, contributing to sharing
some of the difficulties, giving more motivation to poor households and
households in difficult circumstances to welcome a warm, full and happy Tet; and
is the most vivid proof affirming the good tradition and morality of "Loving
the other people as love yourself" full of humanity of the people of Nghe
An.
Although there have been many efforts by the Party
Committee and authorities, and the active attention of units, enterprises,
philanthropists and people, there is still a group of people in remote areas,
people affected by natural disasters, epidemics, serious diseases, vulnerable
people, etc. life is still very difficult. The whole province still has more than 45 thousand poor
households, accounting for nearly 5.2%, and over 50 thousand near-poor
households, accounting for 5.7%, in dire need of support from the entire
society.
