Although the Tu Em garment processing group in Hamlet 4, An Xuyen Commune has only been in operation for a few months, it is always operating at full capacity. According to Ms. Nguyen Thi Tu Em, more than 10 years ago, she and her son worked as garment processors for a number of companies in Ho Chi Minh City and Binh Duong . Thinking that if she worked for hire forever, she would never be able to change her life, in 2024, after pooling her capital, Ms. Tu Em decided to return to her hometown, investing more than 100 million VND to start a garment processing business, while creating jobs for women in need.

Currently, Ms. Tu Em’s sewing group attracts more than 10 rural workers, both male and female, with an average salary of 5 million VND/month per person. Ms. Tu Em’s family income alone is about 20 million VND/month.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Mai, Hamlet 4, An Xuyen Commune, has been with the sewing group since its inception. Ms. Mai shared: “Sewing is suitable for the conditions, health and time of women. This job is not restricted by time, I sew about 8 hours a day, and am paid 6 million VND/month. This amount of money is enough for me to take care of my children's education and cover the family's living expenses. More importantly, when I come here to sew, I feel like I am working in a family, everyone behaves harmoniously, cares and supports each other a lot.”

The Cay Me sewing group, Hamlet 4, An Xuyen commune, owned by Ms. Nguyen Thi Nhan, has been operating for more than 4 years. Ms. Nguyen Thi Nhan, head of the sewing group, said: “When it was first established, the group only had 3 workers, but now it has attracted nearly 10 members to participate. I find that sewing is very suitable for the conditions of rural women. After paying the workers, my family still makes a profit of about 15 million VND/month.”

In An Xuyen commune, there are currently more than 10 sewing establishments and processing groups, creating jobs for over 100 local workers. The common point of these establishments is that they are all owned by women, who used to be sewing workers hired by companies before. Therefore, when establishing a sewing establishment, the women are very attentive, giving enthusiastic guidance without charging the workers until they are proficient in the job, many establishments also take care of breakfast, lunch...

Most of the facilities and sewing teams process the products so they do not have to worry about the output. The designs are all designed by the company so there are clear rules and instructions. When receiving new samples, the team will meet, then divide the sewing steps to each member. This method not only promotes the skills but also creates solidarity and teamwork in the team. Every week or every month, a company representative will come to the facility to receive the processed products and pay.

Ms. Tran Thi Tu Quyen, President of the Women's Union of An Xuyen Commune, said: "The whole commune currently has more than 1,900 female members, among whom there are still a number of members and women whose lives are still difficult and need jobs to cover their living expenses. Therefore, the establishment of economic models in general, and sewing establishments and processing groups in particular, owned by women, not only meets the needs of women looking for jobs but also contributes to the locality's solution to the problem of sustainable poverty reduction."
