Thuong Trach women help each other develop the economy

QTO - In order to increase income and improve the lives of female members, recently, the Women's Union of Thuong Trach commune has implemented many activities to support women in developing highly effective production and business models. Thanks to that, the position and role of women in the commune have been increasingly affirmed, contributing to the socio-economic development of the locality.

Many efficient production models

The Women's Union of Thuong Trach commune currently has 614 members. Living in a mountainous area with barren land and steep terrain, life is still difficult. Cadres, members and women of all walks of life in Thuong Trach commune constantly learn, improve their awareness, practice the moral qualities of "confidence, self-respect, honesty, and responsibility"; always strive, create, and concretize into many skillful mass mobilization models, such as: Supporting livestock livelihoods, "5 no, 3 clean", "Supporting women members in difficult circumstances"...

In order to promote local economic development and increase family income, members and women of the commune have actively worked; maintaining the traditional upland rice growing area in areas with fertile land, growing high-yield cassava in areas with poor land, and intercropping forestry trees to increase forest cover and increase future income. In addition, women have boldly borrowed capital to develop livestock and crop production.

A typical example is the pig farming model of Ms. Y Tui's family in Khe Rung village. Ms. Y Tui said: "In 2021, my family received support from the National Target Program for Sustainable Poverty Reduction with 3 breeding pigs. From those pigs, my family built a barn, increasing the herd to 41. In addition, my family also raises chickens and ducks. Thanks to that, the family's income is increasingly stable, improving life."

Along with the pig farming model of Ms. Y Tui, there is also the cow farming model of Ms. Y Chan (But village), Y Loan (Ca Roong 1 village), Y Nhan (village 39) or the goat farming model of Ms. Y Di, Y Khit (Ca Roong 1 village)... Many women also boldly invest in developing economic forest planting models, such as: Ms. Y Meng (Ca Roong 2 village), Y Ly (Nịu village), Y Bui (Con Roang village), Y Tang (Co Do village)... In addition, taking advantage of their free time, women also go into the forest to find bamboo shoots and dry bamboo shoots to sell to increase their income.

Chairman of the Women's Union of Thuong Trach Commune, Y Buot, shared: “With the spirit of solidarity, sharing and mutual support, in recent times, the movement "Women help each other develop household economy" has been effectively implemented by cadres, members and women in the commune. To accompany women, the Women's Union of the commune has organized many tours to learn experiences in raising livestock and growing crops in economic models of many other localities; introduced and promoted agricultural products of the commune through many different forms; supported livelihood models and interest-free loans through the program "Accompanying women in the border areas", the Provincial Women's Development Support Fund, Project 8... Those practical actions have created a spreading influence for women in the commune to learn together, overcome difficulties and rise up".

Widely spread emulation movements

Promoting the fine traditions of Vietnamese women, in recent times, the women's unions at all levels of Thuong Trach commune have always been dynamic, creative, and actively participated in patriotic emulation movements and campaigns. With many good and creative ways, they have brought about clear results, contributing to the socio-economic development of the locality.

In addition, members also actively participate in cultural and artistic movements, building cultural life in the village; taking care of health, etc.

The campaign "Building a family of 5 no's and 3 clean's" has been implemented synchronously. Thanks to that, many poor women's households have been supported with loans, start-ups, and escape poverty. Law violations, social evils, and domestic violence have decreased; awareness of law compliance among members and families has been raised. The movement to build a prosperous, equal, progressive, and happy family has been increasingly widespread. Women's associations have linked the campaign with the environmental protection movement, contributing to the successful implementation of the campaign "All people unite to build new rural areas".

The Women's Union of Thuong Trach commune strives that in the 2025-2030 term, 100% of poor, near-poor, and disadvantaged women in need will have access to preferential credit sources and loans from the Social Policy Bank. Every year, at least 50% of women will be educated and trained in knowledge of starting a business and developing household economy; at least 2-3 models of women starting a business and starting a business will be supported and advised; at least 2-3 poor and near-poor women's households will escape poverty sustainably per year.
