For many years, by supporting practical production methods for poor people in Thuong Tan commune, a particularly difficult locality of Bac Me district, Ha Giang province, the Golden Heart Charity Fund has helping many poor households have a better life, supporting themselves with sustainable livelihoods .

Create sustainable livelihoods for poor people

At the end of March 2023, Ms. Giang Thi Sua, a poor household in Thuong Tan commune, received support for 1 breeding cow from the Golden Heart Charity Fund. Up to now, after more than a year of taking care of the cow, the mother has given birth to a healthy calf. Ms. Sua is happy because in just a few months the first batch of cows will be sold.

Ms. Sua said that the whole family of four only relies on corn and cassava, but before the harvest comes, they are already hungry. Thanks to the attention of the Golden Heart Social Social Fund and the local government, he was given breeding cows to stabilize and develop his life.

Nearby, Mr. Lu A Tinh was also supported with money to repair and renew fish cages on the lake bed. For Mr. Tinh, it was truly timely support for him to develop his family's economy and escape poverty. Although he has been farming fish in cages for many years, he has experienced natural disasters and epidemics that caused the fish to die, and the cages were broken and there was no money to repair them, causing the entire family of 5 to fall into poverty.

Mr. Tinh recalls that in early 2023, the local government came to his house to announce that this time the family would receive support from the Golden Heart Social Social Fund to repair and renew fish cages, creating a sustainable livelihood. Mr. Tinh was very happy, because at that time the price of fish raised in cages was increasing, traders were looking to buy but had no fish to sell because they did not have money to repair broken cages.

"At that time of hardship and need, I received support from the Golden Heart Social Social Fund. My joy was indescribable. How could a poor household like me ever be able to accumulate tens of millions to build fish cages? More than 1 year. Over the past year, the family's 5 fish cages have brought in a steady income of several million each month, the children have money to go to school, I'm very happy," Mr. Tinh said emotionally.

During the livelihood support for poor people in Thuong Tan highland commune, representatives of Lao Dong Newspaper, the agency directly managing the Fund, and the Labor Confederation of Ha Giang province donated 20 breeding cows to especially difficult families. Each breeding cow costs 15 million VND. In addition, 10 poor households in the area were given gifts worth 10 million VND to repair fish cages.

The total amount awarded this time is up to 400 million VND. These are the timely care and help of the whole society for poor people in difficult circumstances, creating livelihoods for people to sustainably escape poverty.

Accompanying the highlands

Mr. Nguyen Van Chung - former Chairman of the Confederation of Labor of Ha Giang province and former Secretary of Bac Me district - said that with many years of working in this particularly difficult district, he understood the difficulties and suffering of his people when living conditions were poor. harsh climate and terrain. Production land is scarce, natural disasters often occur, so the people's lives are surrounded by poverty. He has also been a companion of the Golden Heart Social Social Fund since the first days the Fund arrived in the locality.

According to Mr. Chung, many years ago Thuong Tan commune was a commune-level unit that received support and companionship from the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor in the work of helping people eradicate hunger and reduce poverty.

"Especially the program of giving breeding cows to poor families in Thuong Tan is really meaningful. In addition to donating cows, families are also taught how to take care of them. I hope such meaningful programs will become more and more popular. replicated" - Mr. Chung said.

Talking to reporters from Lao Dong Newspaper, Mr. Bui Van Tuan - Secretary of the Bac Me District Party Committee (Ha Giang) - said that with the viewpoint of "giving the fishing rod, not the fish", the district has coordinated with the Tam Thuong Social Fund. Vang's heart conducted local field surveys and came to an agreement to give people support to create sustainable livelihoods.

“The support activities for difficult circumstances from the Golden Heart Social Social Fund is a meaningful, humane program and will be increasingly replicated. The program's activities are also a premise to help highland people in difficult circumstances have sustainable livelihoods so they can overcome difficulties and escape poverty with their own strength" - Mr. Tuan shared.
