Women in Ban Thac village stand together to overcome difficulties.

Ban Thac village in Yen Hoa commune is a disadvantaged area, where the lives of the people mainly depend on agricultural production. In recent years, the Women's Association of Ban Thac village has implemented many practical activities, focusing on supporting members to develop their economy, stabilize their lives, and build a united community.

Members of the Women's Association branch in Ban Thac village, Yen Hoa commune, assist a member's family in harvesting rice.

The Women's Association of Ban Thac village currently has 124 members, and supporting members in economic development is identified as one of its important tasks. Based on practical production experience, the Association has propagated and encouraged members to participate in suitable economic models such as growing mung beans, fragrant pumpkins, raising black pigs, and free-range geese. These models utilize natural conditions, require little investment, and are suitable for the production level of the local people. Many members, after participating in these models, have gained additional income and gradually improved their family's living standards.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Luyen, Head of the Women's Association in Ban Thac village, said: "The association has done a good job in receiving entrusted loans from banks. Currently, the association manages a total capital of over 9 billion VND. The review, disbursement, and management of capital are carried out transparently and correctly, creating conditions for members to access preferential capital for production and livestock farming. As a result, many members have more opportunities to invest in economic development and stabilize their lives. The association has also promoted the movement of helping members through labor days, with more than 1,000 labor days in 2025. Support activities are implemented flexibly, suitable to each specific circumstance, such as helping members' families with rice planting, assisting in the demolition of temporary or dilapidated houses, providing labor when families face difficulties; and mobilizing members to contribute rice and firewood to support those with funerals." Ms. Be Thi Hoan, a member who received support in the form of labor to demolish her temporary house, shared that thanks to the help of the branch association and its members, her family has been able to rebuild a more solid house, allowing them to work and produce with peace of mind and stabilize their lives.
