“Organizations, agencies and households should take a practical action to care for invalids and families of war martyrs. Especially, we should provide wheelchairs for invalids, employment opportunities for children of martyrs, repair and construction of houses for social beneficiaries and victims of Agent Orange/Dioxin," Nhan said.
Minister Dao Ngoc Dung underlined the need for organisations and individuals to get involved in supporting war invalids, families of martyrs and Agent Orange/dioxin victims in order to improve their living conditions.
It is imperative to step up communications to raise public awareness of the work, Dung said,suggesting expanding the movement “all people take care of war invalids, martyrs’ families and people who rendered service to the nation” and encouraging policy beneficiaries to take part in socio-economic development activities.
Immediately after the launching ceremony on April 27, more than 50 organisations, businesses and individuals donated a total of VND3.8 billion to help policy beneficiaries.
