Creating livelihoods for people to escape poverty
Mr. Pham Van Hanh, in Dak Song district, said that in recent years, all levels of the province and district have combined many different sources of capital to upgrade traffic infrastructure, schools, and village halls.
Currently, the most obvious change is that many roads connecting Dak Kual 5 village with the center of Dak N'Drung commune and Nam N'Jang commune have been invested in asphalt and concrete, creating convenience for people to travel.
"Since the roads became more convenient, the transportation of fertilizers, agricultural products... by people has become more efficient, and people's lives have become more prosperous than before" - Mr. Hanh excitedly said.
A few years ago, Mr. Dieu Tai's family in Tuy Duc district received support from Tuy Duc Border Guard Station (Dak Nong Province Border Guard) for a breeding cow.
According to Mr. Tai, on the day he received the cow, his family signed a commitment with Tuy Duc Border Guard Station and Dak Buk So Commune People's Committee stating that the cow would not be slaughtered or sold.
After more than 3 years of care, this breeding cow has given birth to 2 calves and is preparing to give birth to a new litter. Since the breeding cow gave birth, Mr. Tai's family has improved their lives. "The breeding cow giving birth and multiplying the herd will help the family confidently escape poverty" - Mr. Dieu Tai said.
Previously, Mr. Y Ghe’s family in Krong No district always faced economic difficulties due to lack of capital and land for production. The income from rice and corn was not much, so the family often went hungry during the lean season.
However, in recent years, thanks to the State's support programs, Mr. Y Ghe's family's life has gradually stabilized and escaped poverty.
“My family’s life has become more stable now. We have been supported with housing, land for production and technical training. Thanks to that, the efficiency of farming has been improved and life has become more stable,” said Mr. Y Ghe.
