Many practical programs

In recent years, the Social Policy Bank of Krong Nang district has implemented and brought preferential credit capital to local people. Thereby, creating a momentum to accelerate the process of sustainable poverty reduction in the locality.
Ms. H'Nheo Ksor (Dlie Ya commune) said: "In 2019, my family was one of the households in difficult circumstances in the commune. My husband and I tried our best but still didn't have enough money to raise our child."
According to Ms. H'Nheo Ksor, in that difficult context, commune officials mobilized and supported the family to borrow capital from the district Social Policy Bank to invest in growing coffee and durian. From 2020 to 2024, the family struggled to learn, needing to take care of the garden to develop.
"By 2025, the income from agricultural products will be stable, the family has had a much better life than before. This year, if agricultural product prices continue to be stable, the family can escape poverty sustainably," Ms. H'Nheo Ksor said excitedly.
In addition, the Ethnic and Religious Affairs Department of Krong Nang district also coordinated with relevant units to deploy distributed domestic water support for people in difficult circumstances.
As one of 158 people in Ea Dah commune who received support, Mr. Lo Van Nua shared: "My family is in difficult circumstances and has unstable income. In the dry season, the family lacks clean water to use, which is very inconvenient".
"Fortunately, thanks to the local government's support for buying water for daily use for cooking, my children are not worried about getting infected with infectious diseases. Thanks to that, I can feel secure spending time working and producing to escape poverty sustainably" - Mr. Lo Van Nua added.
