Currently, Nam Lau commune has over 11,000 smartphone users. Joining hands to support people in building a digital life and becoming digital citizens, the Nam Lau Commune Police have proactively propagated and encouraged people with smartphones to register for level 2 electronic identification. To date, more than 10,540 citizens in the commune have activated and are using the VneID application. In addition, the commune police are actively encouraging people to integrate information on health insurance (reaching 54% of the population), social security accounts (reaching 17% of the population), vehicle registration certificates, driver's licenses, dependent information, etc., thereby creating favorable conditions to support people in carrying out administrative procedures through the VneID application.
Major Nguyen Nang Son, Head of the Nam Lau Commune Police, said: "In the past, the commune police have regularly announced through community groups on Zalo and Facebook, and conducted oral propaganda in the villages... about warning people to prevent criminal activities and violations of the law in the use of social media; and mobilizing people to prevent fraudulent activities and property theft through cyberspace... Through this, we help people raise their vigilance and avoid being scammed online."
Mong Luong village, Muong Khieng commune, is located on the edge of the Son La hydroelectric reservoir, in the Da River basin. While smartphones and security cameras were once unfamiliar devices to the villagers, they have now become commonplace in many households. Currently, the village has 91 households, 21 of which have proactively installed security cameras to monitor, manage, and protect their property.
Comrade Lo Van Kiem, Party Secretary and Head of Mong Luong village, said: "Most households are guided by their children or village youth union members on how to install and connect cameras to smartphones, so the use is relatively convenient and easy. Through mobile phones, people can monitor the security situation around their homes anytime, anywhere, especially while working in the fields, away from home, or at night."
The proactive installation of security cameras has contributed to raising the awareness of self-management and self-protection of property by each household, and has actively supported the village in ensuring security and order, promptly detecting, monitoring, and handling emerging issues in the village. In addition, it has gradually created a shift in people's awareness of applying technology to daily life, contributing to building a safe and stable residential area and maintaining security and order in the locality.
The family of Mr. Lo Van Noi and Mrs. Quang Thi Viet is one of the first households in Mong Luong village to install home security cameras. Mr. Noi said: "My family has a house and a farmhouse quite far apart. On the farmhouse, we raise goats, have a coffee nursery, and all the necessary household items. Because we don't often stay on the farmhouse, we installed security cameras connected to our smartphone to monitor the situation. Installing the cameras and connecting them to the smartphone is also very easy and convenient. Wherever I go, anytime, I can open my phone to check the security situation and the family's livestock, so I feel very secure."
From July 1st, 2025 to the present, Muong Khieng commune has had 43 workers going to work abroad under contract, with 12 workers going abroad in the first quarter of 2026 alone. To facilitate communication between workers and their families, many families have purchased smartphones, installed social media applications, and fitted modern technological devices that connect to smartphones.
Ms. Ca Thi Hoi, from Lot Man village, Muong Khieng commune, shared: "Before my two children went to work in Japan, they bought my husband and me two smartphones. They also taught us how to use Zalo to connect, make calls, and exchange information. Every day, after work, my children call home to check on the family and their situation, which is very easy and convenient. Through smartphones, we can also find and read more news about domestic and international events, and learn about the living conditions, work, and living arrangements of our children abroad. The family feels very reassured."
It is evident that the presence of smartphones and modern technological devices has been creating a new face for the villages in Thuan Chau area. From ensuring security and fostering family connections to modernizing administrative procedures, each resident here is gradually becoming a true "digital citizen." This proactive learning and continuous adaptation is the golden key for ethnic minorities to bridge the digital divide and together build a more civilized and modern future.
