The new houses will be presented to ten low-income families in Moc Hoa and Tan Thanh districts.
At the ceremony, Nguyen Thanh Hai, Deputy Secretary of the Long An Provincial Party Committee, expressed happiness that poor people in his area had received support from kind donors.
"Moc Hoa and Tan Thanh are two agricultural districts where people's lives are still very difficult due to their modest incomes," the official said. "These new houses are valuable support for them."
Speaking at the event, Dantri editor-in-chief Pham Tuan Anh, said that the construction of housing is part of their campaign to build 100 houses between now and next year.
