Helping people escape poverty
Thanks to resources from the National Target Program on Sustainable Poverty Reduction, many households in Buon Don district have had additional livelihoods, a premise to escape poverty.
The family of Mr. Y Kram Eban (Ea Nuol commune, Buon Don district) has been among the poor households in the locality for the past 4 years. Mr. Y Kram Eban said that his family only has 7 sao of coffee but the land is poor so the productivity is not much.
To earn money to support his life, Mr. Y Kram Eban worked many jobs. However, his family's life still could not improve. The desire to escape poverty was always present in his mind.
Currently, Mr. Y Kram’s family is in need of a new livelihood to escape poverty. Faced with this situation, the local government has decided to award a pair of breeding cows under the National Target Program for Sustainable Poverty Reduction.
Mr. Y Kram was very happy to receive a pair of breeding cows worth 30 million VND. He said that his whole family is currently sharing the grazing of the pair of cows. He tries to keep the cows healthy and fat to increase the herd.
Not far from Mr. Y Kram's house, Mr. Y Nghinh Hwing's family (Nieng 2 village) also received a pair of breeding cows from the National Target Program for Sustainable Poverty Reduction.
Mr. Y Nghinh said that this is a very practical gift for his family. For a long time, he also wanted to have a pair of cows to raise. However, because of his family's financial difficulties, he has not been able to do so. With the above pair of cows and 1 hectare of land growing coffee, Mr. Y Nghinh will strive to escape poverty.
Up to now, Buon Don District People's Committee has approved 9 projects to support the development of community production of breeding cattle, 1 project to raise hybrid wild boars and 2 projects to support production tools.
Buon Don district is approving 8 more projects to support community development with allocated capital in 2024.
