The houses, each equipped with a solar power system, were designed by the provincial Department of Construction in line with criteria set for such a building type.
They are part of a project funded by the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) in Vietnam, with beneficiaries being poor and near poor households; families with disabled members; and women living alone with their houses affected by storms.
Through the Red Cross Society of Quang Ngai province, UNDP also financed over 175,000 USD to upgrade 670 houses for the poor in coastal districts.
