“The above activities have contributed to improving the capacity, knowledge and management skills of members; at the same time affirming the prestige and role of the Provincial Women Entrepreneurs Association in the overall development of the Central Highlands region,” said Ms. Dong Thi Anh.

Affirming role through social activities

Not only affirming its position in the market, the Association at all levels and members of the two provinces (formerly) have implemented many social security and charity programs with profound humanitarian significance. These activities not only provide timely support to those in difficult circumstances but also clearly affirm the role, responsibility and heart of the female business community in joining hands for the community.

Every year, the “Spring of Love” and “Happy Tet” programs bring hundreds of gifts to poor women, orphans, people with disabilities and patients in difficult circumstances. In particular, the “Godmother” program provides long-term support to 26 orphans affected by the Covid-19 epidemic, with a total budget of more than 2.8 billion VND.

Responding to the movement "Join hands to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses by 2025", the Association has supported the construction and repair of many "Warm houses of love" and "Great solidarity" houses in the two provinces. In the old Binh Dinh, the Association supported 11 houses in Hoai Nhon town and the districts of Van Canh, Tuy Phuoc, Phu Cat, Phu My, Tay Son, Vinh Thanh, Hoai An and An Lao; together with the Association of Women Entrepreneurs of Binh Phuoc, Binh Duong and Binh Thuan, presented 1 "Warm house of love"; the total cost of implementation was more than 600 million VND. In the old Gia Lai, in early 2025, the Association presented 4 "Warm houses of love" with a total value of 225 million VND.
