According to the Kien Giang Provincial Federation of Labor, the two households currently do not have stable housing, have extremely difficult living conditions, and are unable to build their own houses. In particular, Ms. Duong Thi Sau's family currently does not have their own house, and has had to stay at an acquaintance's house for a long time, and their lives are very precarious. Ms. Duong Thi Sau is a part-time employee at the Commune Party Committee, her family has 5 members and is in especially difficult circumstances. Recently, I have had to treat my child for traffic accidents and not have a stable house. Mr. Danh Thanh is a Khmer ethnic, working at sea, with an unstable income. Mr. Thanh's old house is just a makeshift, seriously degraded.

At the handover ceremony, Vice Chairman of the An Giang Provincial Federation of Labor Pham Van Dang said: The Trade Union Shelter Program is a key activity of the Kien Giang Provincial Trade Union in caring for union members, workers and people with difficult housing circumstances, contributing to helping households settle down, have a job and stabilize their long-term lives.

The groundbreaking of the construction of Trade Union Shelters for disadvantaged households continues to affirm the role of the Trade Union organization in caring for social security, accompanying union members, workers and people. Thereby contributing to strengthening the solidarity between the army and the people and stabilizing the lives of people in disadvantaged areas.

This is also a practical activity to celebrate the 14th National Congress of the Party, and is also a project in the series of activities for the 2026 Military-Civilian Tet in An Giang province, contributing to the implementation of the program to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses in the locality.
