From the livelihood support program for poor ethnic minorities and those in difficult circumstances, in recent times, the Fatherland Front at all levels in the province has implemented livelihood models suitable to the actual situation of the locality. Thereby, up to now, many models have brought about practical results, contributing to helping poor and near-poor households in disadvantaged communes in Dam Rong district have more motivation to improve their lives.

| In 2023, 167 poor households in disadvantaged communes of Dam Rong district will be supported with livelihood models. |
In 2022, hundreds of poor and near-poor households in Dam Rong district will receive tens of billions of VND in financial support to implement programs to convert ineffective crop and livestock varieties to high - value crops and programs to support production development, preferential loans, etc. In addition, many poor and near-poor households, especially in disadvantaged communes, will also receive support for livelihood models, helping people gradually improve, increase their income and escape poverty sustainably. From provincial capital alone, Dam Rong district has provided livelihood support to 455 poor and near-poor households with a budget of over 7.9 billion VND.
Together with the departments and branches of the province, in 2022, the Fund Mobilization Committee for the Poor of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Lam Dong province allocated 4 billion VND to Dam Rong district. On that basis, the Standing Committee of the District Fatherland Front Committee coordinated with the Department of Labor - Invalids and Social Affairs to support livelihood models for 268 poor and near-poor households in 4 disadvantaged communes: Da Long, Da Tong, Da M'rong and Lieng S'rong. The livelihood models supported for the people are very specific and practical, such as: support for production tools, agricultural machinery, plant varieties, livestock, scientific and technical knowledge, etc.; including 38 models supporting silkworm farming tools, 44 models building barns (pig pens), the rest are models supporting local black pig breeds with 546 breeding pigs for 91 households and models supporting durian seedlings and fertilizers for 95 households...
We visited Mr. Tre K'Xuyen's household in Lieng Krac 2 village, Da M'rong commune. Being a family with difficult circumstances, in 2022, Mr. Tre K'Xuyen's family was one of the poor households in the commune that received support from Dam Rong district with tools, bamboo baskets, and silkworm seeds to raise silkworms... Due to the limited mulberry area (1.5 sao of mulberry), the family only raised 2.5 grams of silkworm seeds/batch, earning from 4 - 6 million VND/month. After more than 2 years of getting acquainted with the profession of growing mulberry and raising silkworms, up to now, his family's economy has had many positive changes and brought in a fairly stable source of income.
Similarly, in the past, the family of Mr. Ro Yam Ha Dol in Da Nhinh 2 village, Da Tong commune was a poor or near-poor household in the commune, because the family's life depended on only a few sao of land for growing rice and corn. Moreover, due to the large family (9 children), the family's life became even more difficult. But since implementing the policy of converting crop and livestock varieties, in 2019, Mr. Ha Dol's family boldly converted from 5 sao of wet rice to growing mulberry and raising silkworms; by 2020, the family continued to convert the entire area of land for growing corn to growing coffee trees, this crop has yielded its first harvest. “With 5 sao of mulberry, my family raises 1 box of silkworms, earning from 9 - 14 million VND/month. From the initial results, the authorities at all levels have provided additional materials for producing silkworm raising tools and provided additional support in knowledge and experience, which has helped my family as well as many other households in the commune gradually escape poverty and near-poverty. Thanks to silkworm raising, up to now, my family's economy is much more stable than before, not only having the conditions to take care of our children's education, but also equipping the family with household items such as: buying beds, TVs, refrigerators, washing machines, installing wifi and currently repairing 40 m2 of the house to expand the silkworm raising area. In addition, my family also mobilizes and shares silkworm raising experiences with nearly 10 other households in the village to follow suit", said Mr. Ro Yam Ha Dol and his wife.
In addition to supporting agricultural tools for production, plants and breeds, people in the communes in the district are also supported with knowledge and experience in cultivation and livestock farming. According to statistics, only 268 poor and near-poor households have been supported with livelihood models by the Provincial Fatherland Front, and so far 145 households have escaped poverty. In 2023, Dam Rong district will continue to receive funding from the Provincial Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of over 3.3 billion VND to continue supporting 167 poor and near-poor households in disadvantaged communes with livelihood plans, helping people develop the economy, increase income, gradually improve their lives, and escape poverty sustainably.
