On July 21, in An Long Commune, Dong Thap Province, the Youth of Dong Thap University, in collaboration with PVcomBank and the An Long Commune Youth Union, held the groundbreaking ceremony for the 102nd “5,000‑VND House”.
In attendance at the program were Comrade Nguyen Tri Tuc – Secretary of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union of Dong Thap University (Dong Thap University HCYU); representatives of the coordinating units; local authorities; the student’s family; and students.
The house is being built for student Phan Nguyen Anh Thi, class ĐHSKHTN24B, Faculty of Natural Sciences Education, currently residing in Phu Tho Hamlet, An Long Commune. At the ceremony, Dong Thap University presented the first installment of financial support for the construction, helping the student’s family improve their living conditions so she can focus on her studies and personal development.
The “5,000‑VND House” program has been implemented by the Dong Thap University HCYU since 2010, aiming to support students facing housing difficulties. The fund is formed from the monthly contribution of 5,000 VND from Dong Thap University HCYU members and students, together with the support of staff, lecturers, and partnering organizations and units.
Before being named the “5,000‑VND House,” the program had previously been implemented under the titles “House of Compassion,” “2,000‑VND House,” and “3,000‑VND House.” Over more than 15 years of implementation, the program has become a meaningful and impactful activity of the Youth of Dong Thap University, spreading the spirit of solidarity, sharing, and responsibility toward students.
The groundbreaking of the 102nd “5,000‑VND House” continues to mark the meaningful journey of the University in supporting and caring for its students. Each house represents the collective contribution of staff, lecturers, students, enterprises, and the local community, helping create better living conditions for students so they can stabilize their lives and continue pursuing their educational paths.
Through these activities, Dong Thap University continues to uphold its role in accompanying learners and in connecting resources among the University, enterprises, and local communities in social welfare efforts and community service.
