Le Van Can, vice chairman of the provincial People’s Committee said that 20,662 poor Khmer households need assistance with housing, power and a safe water supply.
As of September 2008, the province has built 6,800 houses to be given to those in need and provided 34 billion VND for localities to build safe water supply stations. Thanks to the assistance they have received, approximately 90 percent of Khmer houses now have access to a safe water supply. The province also offered five-year, interest-free loans worth 50 million VND each to householders to assist them in the construction of houses and to help develop their businesses. |
