Under the plan, 120 new houses will be built with support of VND 60 million (approximately USD 2,350) each, while 109 homes will be repaired with VND 30 million (approximately USD 1,175) per unit.
The programme targets children of resistance fighters exposed to chemical agents, including Agent Orange/dioxin, aiming to improve living conditions and help families overcome hardship.
All houses are expected to be completed and handed over by July 25, providing greater stability for beneficiaries.
