Livelihood model - the driving force to escape poverty in Thach Ha

(Baohatinh.vn) - Livelihood models given to poor and near-poor households in Thach Ha (Ha Tinh) have contributed to creating motivation, helping people gradually escape poverty.

With only 2 members in the family and frequent illness, the life of Mr. Nguyen Luong Nhien's family in Moc Hai village (Thach Ngoc commune) fell into difficult circumstances. Faced with such circumstances, Thach Ngoc commune decided to propose to superiors to support the family with an economic model from the State budget according to the national target program for sustainable poverty reduction.

From the State budget under the national target program for sustainable poverty reduction, many households in Thach Ngoc commune have been supported with a chicken farming model.

The livelihood model with 100 chickens was given to the grandparents, in addition, the program also supported chicken feed for the first 3 months. After 3-4 months, the chickens started to be sold for meat. In addition, clean chicken eggs were also collected and sold in batches, from which Mr. Nhien's family had more money to buy chickens to restore the flock. "Take short-term to support long-term", up to now, his family has had an additional source of income, the hardships of difficult times have been gradually resolved.

From the initially supported chicken flocks, many families in Thach Ngoc have re-flocked and developed the model.

Mr. Nhien confided: “Without timely support from the State program, we would not know how to earn income to cover our living expenses and buy medicine. This support and care gives us more motivation to try, to accumulate small things to make a big thing, to maintain and develop the chicken farming model.”

As for the family of Mr. Nguyen Huu The in Ngoc Ha village, Ngoc Son commune, since being given a livelihood model of a cow, he has had more motivation to try every day. Mr. The's family is a near-poor household in the village. Recently, from the capital source of the national target program for sustainable poverty reduction, Mr. The's family is one of 9 households supported with cows to develop the economy.

Mr. The shared: “I am truly touched and grateful to receive the cow support from the poverty reduction program. This is not only material help, but also a great source of spiritual encouragement for me and my family. With this support, my family will strive to escape near poverty.”

Mr. The's livelihood model and other livelihood models after the donation were all closely inspected and monitored by Ngoc Son commune officials.

Since the beginning of 2024, 26 households in Ngoc Son commune have received support for cows from the national target program for sustainable poverty reduction. Through evaluation and monitoring by commune officials, the awarded models have all been effective.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Mai - a social and cultural policy officer of Ngoc Son commune said: "When receiving support, people were very happy and had more motivation to strive to overcome difficulties. All livelihood models after being donated were closely inspected and monitored by the commune and have been effective so far. Many families have raised cows to develop, sell and create revolving capital to further develop livestock and crop farming."

Livelihood models have created motivation to help poor and near-poor households have more stable income and development opportunities.

It is known that the whole district of Thach Ha is currently maintaining and developing 65 models of raising cows and chickens from the support of the national target program for sustainable poverty reduction. Thereby, contributing to reducing the rate of poor households in the whole district to 3.08%; near-poor households to 3.34%. More importantly, the livelihood models have created motivation to help poor and near-poor households have more stable income and development opportunities.
