Veteran Nguyen Van Tho’s concrete brick production establishment in Dan
Chu commune, Hoa Binh city, creates jobs and stable incomes for five local
labourers.
joining the army in 1976, Pham Van Thuat was wounded
when he served as a soldier of the Vietnam People’s Army’s weapon department.
He was then recognised as a war invalid of the highest level who lost 65
percent of the work capacity. He continued to serve the army until retirement
in 2003.
Despite formidable difficulties, Thuat decided to set up his Cuong Thinh
construction and service company in Muong Khen town, Tan Lac district, with
only 5 million VND (215.95 USD) from his savings and bank loans.
His firm gradually gains prestige and receives contracts to build civil
construction works, irrigational system and transport infrastructure. Thuat’s
business has expanded to agricultural sector. Currently, his company’s farm
model with 200 fish cages on Hoa Binh lake and 1,100 head of pigs, together
with a building material shop, is creating stable jobs for nearly 40 local
labourers, each earning 5 million VND per month.
In 2017, Thuat was among the province’s standout representatives to attend the
national conference to honour excellent businesses. Last year, he was elected
as vice president of the province’s association of war veterans.
Thanks to his prestige and position, Thuat
has mobilised capital from individuals and organisations to search for and
bring home remains of 58 martyrs who laid down their lives during the war time
in the south.
