Quang Ngai - In recent years, Kon Braih commune has implemented many projects and practical livelihood models, contributing to poverty reduction and improving the lives of people in mountainous areas.

Practical livelihood models

The models not only help people stabilize their income but also create a foundation for the goal of sustainable poverty reduction and building new rural areas. In order to support livelihoods for households with sponsored children, on December 19, 2025, the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Kon Braih commune coordinated with the Project Plan to deploy a breeding pig model in the commune.

Households in villages 8 and 9 were supported with 12 adult breeding pigs, including 10 sows and 2 male sows. Supporting breeding animals in accordance with actual conditions helps households facilitate livestock development, gradually increase income, and stabilize their lives.
