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.

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.”
