Sponsoring dreams of starting a business and escaping poverty
Born and raised in Tran Thoi commune, a purely agricultural commune of Cai Nuoc district (Ca Mau province), Ms. Tran Thi Muoi soon became involved in Youth Union work since her early twenties. Since then, she has never left her position, although sometimes she has faced many difficulties, from material facilities to attracting local youth.
Every movement Ms. Muoi initiated, every model she promoted, every young person she encouraged, every family that escaped poverty, every start-up program... all bear the mark of a Youth Union official who dares to think, dares to do and does not falter.

Outstanding in the activities of the Youth Union in Tran Thoi commune is the Volunteer movement to build new rural areas, which has been widely deployed. The village roads are shaded by green trees, rows of bright red national flags, not only beautify the living space but also awaken the pride in every young person... The value of the projects is estimated at more than 200 million VND.
In particular, the digitalization project of the “District Party Committee Base Area”, an important red address – is a testament to the new and creative approach in traditional education. Thanks to the dedicated investment of the Commune Youth Union, this place is not only a historical destination, but also a visual and vivid educational space, contributing to fostering revolutionary ideals for the young generation.
Not stopping at movement activities, Ms. Tran Thi Muoi is especially passionate about supporting young people to develop the economy and escape poverty. Realizing that many young people in the locality do not have a clear career orientation and have difficult lives, she proactively connected resources, mobilized nearly 400 million VND in support capital and directly guided appropriate start-up and economic development models.
As a result, 87 youth economic models were born, from raising blood cockles, fattening mussels, breeding crabs, raising civets, opening cake shops, etc. Many families participating in these models have risen out of poverty, becoming typical examples at the district level.
“We do not simply hand out fishing rods. Each economic model has someone to guide, accompany, and support until it is stable. Working in the Youth Union now is not only about organizing movements, but also knowing how to accompany young people at the right time on their journey to start a business, helping the poor rise up so that no one is left behind,” Ms. Muoi shared.

Over the past year, the Tran Thoi Commune Youth Union has mobilized to give 487 gifts, necessities, scholarships and 35 bicycles to students in difficult circumstances. Many of them have now become active members of the Youth Union, continuing to spread the circle of kindness.
In addition, Muoi also mobilized the implementation of the youth project "Security Camera and Light", worth 180 million VND; implemented the model of Youth participating in supporting sustainable poverty reduction, the model was established in 2022, up to now, mobilized the construction of 6 houses for disabled children, disadvantaged youth and poor households, worth 315 million VND.
In addition, Ms. Muoi also pioneered the establishment of the “MT69” team specializing in waste treatment, building embankments to prevent landslides, and promoting anti-plastic waste. These seemingly small but long-term tasks contribute significantly to improving the quality of the living environment and community awareness.
Shine from within
In 2025, Tran Thi Muoi was one of 100 Youth Union officials nationwide to receive the Ly Tu Trong award. But for her, the greatest reward is the maturity of local youth union members.
“There are people who have gone from being shy and introverted to being active Youth Union cadres. There are people who come from poor families, but now have their own economic model and have risen out of poverty. I believe that every young person has potential, just needs to be properly tapped,” said Ms. Muoi.
In Tran Thoi commune today, when mentioning the youth movement, we are mentioning Tran Thi Muoi. Not only is she the “fire keeper”, she also spreads the fire, so that the spirit of youth permeates every project and dream of hundreds of young people with aspirations to rise up.
