One day in early June, putting aside their business, some female traders from Uong Bi Central Market went to Yen Thanh Ward (Uong Bi City) to visit and encourage Nguyen Thi Thien, one of the children who received gifts from the Women's Association of Uong Bi Central Market during Children's Day, and who is currently being considered and proposed for long-term sponsorship by the association. Ms. Luong Thi Ngoc Bich, Head of the Women's Association of Uong Bi Central Market, said: It's not just about giving gifts, we want to visit Nguyen Thi Thien's family in person, encourage her, understand the situation and wishes of her family and herself, so that we can find the most effective and long-term support method.
Female traders at Uong Bi Central Market visit Nguyen Thi Thien (Yen Thanh ward, Uong Bi city).
Uong Bi Central Market has nearly 300 female traders. Operating within the framework of the Market Women's Association, female traders have the opportunity to gather, promote solidarity, the spirit of mutual love, and the poor helping the poor. Ms. Bui Thi Cay (a shoe seller) said: There are still some female traders here who have difficult lives. In the context of fierce competition in business, the profit is not too much, enough to take care of the family, but everyone wants to save a little to contribute to the community. Everyone thinks that the difficulty is just having fewer dishes for meals, less fashionable clothes, and in society, somewhere there are still hungry children, sick children with no money for treatment, lacking the most essential living and studying supplies. Therefore, we are very unanimous, as long as the association finds the right target, is reasonable, open and transparent, we will participate.
In the past 5 years, every year, the Women's Union of Uong Bi Central Market has mobilized about 50 gifts to give to people in difficult circumstances, focusing on children. The Union is one of the typical units in the "Godmother" movement launched by the Women's Union of Uong Bi City. Currently, the Women's Union of Uong Bi Central Market has sponsored 12 children, the sponsorship fund is provided monthly or annually, thereby contributing to improving the lives of disadvantaged children, joining hands to care for children.
Although he is an experienced and decisive person in the business world, Mr. Luong The Loi, Director of Uong Bi Trading Company Limited, is gentle with children in Uong Bi City in particular and children in many provinces and cities in general. For many years, Mr. Loi has quietly joined hands with the city's associations and organizations to participate in activities of sponsoring children, taking care of the elderly, building charity houses, supporting households in sudden difficulties... In 2024, Mr. Loi sponsored poor children, with a salary of 1 million VND/child/month. Since the beginning of 2025, Mr. Loi has continued to expand the model of sponsoring children in the community with his friends.
In Uong Bi City, young businessman Nguyen Thanh Duy, Director of Quang Ninh Construction Company No. 1, is also a typical example of many contributions to the community. Nguyen Thanh Duy is especially interested in the group of poor students who overcome difficulties. He has supported dozens of cases each year, helping them have the motivation and confidence to strive to achieve high academic results.
Nguyen Thanh Duy confided: I myself have had experience with independence since I was a child, so I determined that if I do not study hard and work hard, I cannot escape poverty and cannot rise up. My childhood and youth were days associated with studying and working, working continuously, doing all the right things, even while studying, not leaving myself any time to waste... Because I have worked so hard and strived, now I really want to support students with will and determination. Being poor but studying well, being poor but eager to study is already having will, the community, including me, just needs to step up, promote, and create a little motivation, then someone's life and destiny can be different, will be better.
It can be seen that from the above-mentioned kind-heartedness, many children have received practical care and support. The movement to care for and protect children in Uong Bi City has also developed, achieving very encouraging results. Currently, Uong Bi City is one of the leading localities in the "Godmother" activity and the "Giving savings books, supporting education" program in the whole province.
