105 outstanding organisations honoured

Over the past 12 years, more than 100 billion VND has been raised for the city’s Fund for the Poor, and over 800 billion VND for local social welfare programmes.  The money raised was used to build 12,250 houses, repair over 5,000 others, and provide free medical help for local poor people, as well as help them to develop production in order to improve their living conditions.  Special attention was paid to children with congenital heart complaints, those living in difficult circumstances, and single poor women.  So far this year, the city has helped to build and repair houses for over 504 local poor families, and lift 5,386 others out of poverty.

In the last 3 years, the city’s FFC has made great efforts to raise the trust of local consumers in domestic products and encourage them to get involved in the Politburo’s “Vietnamese People Give Priority to Using Vietnamese Goods” campaign.

The “Everyone Unite to Build a Cultural Life in Residential Areas” movement has helped to strengthen mutual solidarity and support among local residents in order to contribute to the successful fulfilment of the city’s key socio-economic targets.

Addressing the event, the Da Nang Party Committee Deputy Secretary, Mr Tran Tho, praised local relevant agencies and FFCs at all levels for their great efforts to encourage local residents to build a cultural life, boost environmental protection, and effectively implement the “There are no Criminals or Social Evils in Residential Quarters and Villages” programme.

At the ceremony, the Da Nang People’s Committee awarded certificates of merit to 29 outstanding units for their active involvement in the “Day for the Poor”, 8 in the “Vietnamese People Give Priority to Using Vietnamese Goods”, and 68 in the “Everyone Unite to Build a Cultural Life in Residential Areas”.
