These clubs were deployed in 32 hamlets and quarters in 32 communes, wards and towns, achieving more than 91% of the set target.

In the recent period, the clubs have played an active role in mobilizing resources in the community. The total mobilized funds amounted to VND 1,468,000,000. From this fund, the clubs have disbursed loans to 293 members to develop production and business with a total loan amount of VND 1,465,000,000. The common loan amount ranges from VND 5 - 10 million/member, with a preferential interest rate of no more than 1%/month.

The “Intergenerational Self-Help” Club model has affirmed its important role as an effective bridge between the Party committee, local government and the elderly. The activities of the clubs contribute to enhancing understanding, solidarity and mutual support among members, strengthening the neighborhood relationship. At the same time, the model also promotes patriotic emulation movements in the community and raises people’s awareness of the Party’s policies and the State’s laws.

On this occasion, the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee awarded certificates of merit to 8 groups and 12 individuals who have been outstanding in implementing the "Intergenerational Self-Help" Club model.
