Young worker support enhanced in Di An city

Di An city has over time implemented various programs, models, and effective ways of promoting unity and gathering young workers. This has significantly contributed to caring for young migrant workers in the area.

Life care

Every afternoon, the playground in Tan A neighborhood, Tan Dong Hiep ward, always attracts many children. The playground is located near many dormitories to serve children who are the offspring of migrant workers coming from rural areas to play. This playground model was implemented by the Youth Union of Di An, installing 7 facilities in An Binh, Tan Dong Hiep, Tan Binh, Binh Thang, Di An, and Dong Hoa wards. In addition, the Youth Union directs the Youth bases to maintain and renovate the existing playgrounds throughout the city to serve the children in the residential areas for entertainment.

Not only that, the underprivileged children living in boarding houses also participate in a love class organized by the Youth Union of the wards. In Miếu Bà ấp Thượng, Châu Thới neighborhood, Bình An ward, there has been a love class maintained for over 10 years. The students are the children of migrant workers from rural areas who are facing difficulties and therefore do not have the means to attend school. Through the charitable classes, the Youth Union of the wards has maintained educational activities, caring with a loving heart, helping the children have a place to study. To provide the children with full conditions for studying and playing, the Youth Union and grassroots Youth Union regularly care about giving gifts, organizing playgrounds, providing support for difficulties, educating and training skills.

Every year, from the programs of the Organizing Committee of the Youth Solidarity Initiative for Young Workers and Laborers, the Youth Union and the Women's Union of the city have organized many activities to improve the material and spiritual life of young workers in boarding houses. In which, the units have creatively applied the program "Tet meal" at the youth union branches of workers in rented accommodations, attracting more than 3,000 members to participate and the program "Spread love, receive happiness" to give thousands of gifts, necessities to working people of difficulties.

In addition, the urban youth also organize cultural programs on Tet holidays, maintain the "Festival of Ethnic Cultures and Religions"; at the same time, mobilize philanthropists and landlords to donate thousands of gifts to disadvantaged workers in boarding houses. Over the past 3 years, localities in the city have also donated 13 "Dream Rooms", helping young workers overcome difficulties and stabilize their lives.
