Over recent years, the district has seen numerous positive changes in the implementation of its meaningful activities for assisting social policy families.  In particular, 3,185 people who gave great service in the national revolution are granted periodic allowances funded from the district budget, whilst 3,265 orphaned children and many disabled residents also receive monthly financial aid.

In addition to using the funds from the national budget to help social policy families, the district authorities have made appeals for public donations to support Vietnamese heroic mothers, and repair deteriorated houses of these beneficiaries.

Vice State President Thinh spoke highly of the remarkable achievements in the district’s progress over recent years.  She happily said that the living conditions of the district’s social policy beneficiaries, and those of the city’s residents as a whole, have been enhanced considerably, in a bid to promote the national traditions of ‘when drinking water, think of its source’.

In particular, the country leader also highlighted the significance of continuing to educate younger generations about the country’s revolutionary traditions, thereby encouraging them to make greater devotion to the development of the district, and that of the city as a whole.

Vice State President Thinh presented gifts, worth 2 million VND each, to 30 social policy beneficiaries and 20 victims exposed to the wartime toxic chemical in the district.

She also gave scholarships funded by the National Fund for Vietnamese Children, worth 1 million VND each, to 50 children with very difficult circumstances.
