HBO - The credit programme targeting needy households under Decree 78/2002/ND-CP is among major credit programmes and accounts for the biggest proportion of the Viet Nam Bank for Social Policies (VBSP)’s credit structure.
In the past years, this source of preferential loans had
reached all villages and hamlets in Hoa Binh province, basically meeting local
poor households’ demand for capital. The financial assistance was mostly
invested in animal husbandry, afforestation, and citrus fruit cultivation,
helping improve the group’s livelihoods and living standards while changing
their methods of doing business.
According to the VBSP, as of the end of February, more than
10.5 billion VND had been lent to 296 customers under the programme, while the
bank collected a total debt payment of over 15 billion VND. Outstanding debt balance
surpassed 917 billion VND with 31,605 customers.
The programme has so far helped needy households earn better
incomes and reduce poverty.
The people in Hoa Binh province are aware of the need to build and preserve the cultural traditions and unique customs of their communities, especially those related to ethnic identities and family values which serve as foundation for a vibrant, tradition-rich Hoa Binh, enriching community life. In recent years, the province’s Party Committee, authorities, and residents have paid heed to building and developing family values and fostering human standards in the new era.
The festival of great national solidarity and culture in 2024 was held at the communal house of Da Bac district on November 5. Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Nguyen Van Toan and leaders of departments and sectors attended the event.
The Labor Federation of Da Bac district has focused on protecting workers' rights while actively participating in patriotic emulation movements to enhance the creativity and productivity of the local workforces across agencies, organisations and enterprises.
In recent years, the Women's Union of Yen Thuy district has actively contributed to the implementation of the National Target Program on building new the rural areas. The Union's activities not only help raise awareness of environmental protection for the members, the women, and the people but they also contribute to improving the appearance of rural areas and improving the quality of life.
The model of intergenerational self-help club (ISC) has been expanded in Mai Chau district over recent times, contributing to sharing and motivating the disadvantaged people, especially the elderly, to improve their lives.
Following President Ho Chi Minh’s teachings that emulation is patriotism, patriotism requires emulation, the trade union at all levels in Hoa Binh has effectively implemented patriotism emulation movements, especially the "effective, creative working” movement. Responding to the movement, local workers, public servants, and officials have proposed many creative and applicable ideas, helping spread the movement to all agencies, units, and businesses.
