Saturday, July 30, 2022

YBO - The authorities, sectors and organisations in Yen Bai province have taken specific actions and measures to realise the goal of poverty alleviation and hunger eradication, helping to bring a prosperous and happy life to local people.

Members of the Women's Union of Tan Dong commune (Tran Yen district) participate in happy family clubs, contributing to creating cultural family standards.

Attention has been paid to supporting poor households, creating motivation for them to escape poverty and keeping up with the community’s progress, thus contributing to promoting the socio-economic development in the province.

Thanks to efforts of the local authorities, Yen Bai’s GDP growth reached nearly 7.6%. Nearly 11,000 workers have been provided with jobs. The income of local people has been improved remarkably.

Poor people in disadvantaged areas have been also supported with housing, production tools, and seedlings.

"The weekend with people” programme has become a movement in the political system at all levels. Cadres join people in constructing concrete roads and communal houses, harvesting rice and cleaning the environment every weekend.

Working together to build roads and promoting the building of new-style rural areas has become a strong movement in the locality.

Dancing and sport clubs have been set up in many communes in Yen Bai province. As many as 40.6 percent of the population of Yen Bai participates in regular physical exercises and sports. The locality has so far had over 1,300 art performance teams and 500 sport clubs.

Movements to build "Happy family", "Happy hamlet, village, residential areas"; and the application of criteria related to happy communes, wards and towns are expected to contribute to creating happy families, and improving the quality of family and society relationships.

Everyone is happy when life is getting better and better.”

Mr. Nguyen Van Thai - Hong Ha ward, Yen Bai city: "I think that a happy family means a better and more civilised society, therefore, my family members always live happily, care for and share with each other all daily work.

Now, the cooperative has built a brand for our products, helping women have more income, contributing to improving their lives, and building a happy family life.

Mr. Vang A Dinh - Suoi Bu commune, Van Chan district: "After listening to the explanation from local officials, we find the building of a happy family, a happy village and a neighbourhood meaningful and practical. This helps me and my family members look back at and adjust our behaviour and relationships in the family as well as between neighbours, brothers and friends. Those simple things will help us feel satisfied and happy with our lives.”
