Culture house in Thao Ca village, Vinh Tien commune, Kim Boi district, is built to improve the quality of life of people in ethnic minority areas.
Notably, members of ethnic minority groups make up 86% of the district’s population, however traffic and essential infrastructure works in the locality have not been harmonised, affecting socio-economic development.
In an attempt to create a driving force to promote socio-economic development in ethnic minority and mountainous areas during 2016-2021, the district has invested in 272 infrastructure projects with a total investment capital of more than 122 billion VND (about 5.2 million USD) and 12 others under the Irish Government’s aid programme with a total investment of more than 9 billion VND. In 2022, the district was allocated 53.7 billion VND for development investment.
Bui Quang Hop, deputy head of Kim Boi District's Ethnic Minority Department, said with timely implementation of the proposed tasks and solutions along with the consensus and efforts of the locals, living standard of ethnic minority people has been improved significantly.
Currently, all roads of ethnic minority communities were connected to the commune centre, 97% of households in rural areas have access to tap water, and many residential areas have spacious culture houses.
