Built with VND 80 million connected by the provincial Police, this shelter marks a fresh start after years of struggle.

“Previously, my family lived in a temporary wooden hut. Our income was barely enough for daily life and my two children’s education, so I never dreamed of building a house. I am deeply moved and grateful. With this new home, I can focus on my business and take better care of my children’s future,” Giàng A Chu shared emotionally.

A similar transformation occurred for Thào A Dia in Na Sang village. Once one of the poorest in his commune, Dia has seen his life stabilize over the past year since moving into a permanent house provided through police support. No longer struggling for every meal, he has boldly invested in livestock and crops. For him, the house is more than just a shield against the elements, it is a sturdy anchor for his long-term ambitions.

Recent natural disasters have dealt heavy blows to the people of Điện Biên, leaving thousands of homes in ruins and crops destroyed. In the spirit of “mutual affection,” the officers and soldiers of the provincial Police have stood side-by-side with the community, adhering to the principle: “Leave no one behind.”

During the historic floods of July 2024 in Mường Pồn commune, the police were on the front lines, evacuating residents from danger zones, conducting search and rescue operations, and protecting assets. After the waters receded, they remained on the ground to clear mud, distribute essential supplies, and propose long-term recovery plans.

Under the policy of the Ministry of Public Security, the provincial Police quickly mobilized personnel and equipment to build 20 houses for the hardest-hit families in Mường Pồn. Despite complex terrain and harsh weather, these homes were completed and handed over on schedule. Lò Thị Ngoan, a resident of Lĩnh village who lost everything in the flood, now lives in one of these homes. She expressed her profound gratitude to the Party, the State, and the police for helping her family find peace of mind again.

Through the “Joining Hands to Eliminate Temporary and Dilapidated Houses” campaign during the 2020-2025 period, the provincial Police supported the construction of nearly 1,700 homes for poor households and those in special circumstances.

Every completed house does more than just change the rural landscape of the highlands; it allows residents to focus on production and economic development. These shelters serve as a vivid symbol of the solidarity between the police and the people, reflecting the dedication of the provincial Police to serving the community.
