Creating on-site jobs for rural women lies in the heart of the operation of the Women's Union of Lac Thinh commune in Yen Thuy district. Bui Thi Tien, 44, of the Muong ethnic group, a member of the women's union of Sau hamlet in Lac Thinh commune, has boldly sought and created jobs for many women to increase their income and improve their families' living standards.

district), and Bui Thi Van with their handmade products.
In the context that apart from farming, most local women had no extra work to
raise their income, and with her own experience in handicraft, Tien decided to
bring weaving to her hometown in 2018, benefiting over 40 women and outside the
commune, who earn from 1.5 to 5 million VND (59.08-196.94 USD) per month.
Weaving is not a hard work, but it requires carefulness, meticulousness,
perseverance, and diligence, said Tien, adding at first, she spent time
encouraging local women to pursue it to earn extra income.
Among
the participants is Bui Thi Van, 34, from Lang hamlet, Lac Thinh commune, who
was born deaf and mute. Since joining Tien’s model in 2019, Van has felt more
confident and can earn about 4 million each month.
Chairwoman of the Women's Union of Lac Thinh commune Nguyen Thi Minh Huyen said
over the past years, the union has always focused on job generation, with Tien
setting a bright example for others.
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.
