At the end of June 2025, the Son Tra Ward Women's Union coordinated with the Son Tra Regional Program (under WVI) to provide livelihoods to 9 households in the sustainable poverty alleviation livelihood program.

The family of Ms. Tran Thi Thanh Diem (born in 1991) is in a difficult situation. Her husband is a freelance worker, supporting elderly parents and two young children.

After learning about Ms. Diem's ​​circumstances and livelihood, the Son Tra Regional Program supported her with two rice cookers, a double induction cooker, a blender, a hand-held porridge blender, and two fans to "renew" the nutritious porridge shop.

“Since receiving the new items, my business has been going smoothly,” Ms. Diem shared.

Or like the family of Ms. Nguyen Thi Oanh Vi (born 1985, Son Tra ward) is near poor. After divorce, Ms. Vi alone manages to raise 4 school-age children. All income depends on the morning bread cart.

To help Ms. Vi increase her income, the Son Tra Regional Program gave her a freezer and a blender so she could sell more juices and smoothies.

Son Tra Ward Women's Union said that this is the second round of livelihood assistance in 2025 for 9 households participating in the sustainable poverty alleviation livelihood program sponsored by WVI, with a total value of nearly 90 million VND.

Livelihoods are awarded based on the needs, desires, conditions and circumstances of each household to maximize their effectiveness.

Not only supporting livelihoods, the Son Tra Regional Program also organizes training for female traders, women entrepreneurs, and households in the sustainable poverty alleviation and livelihood development programs on improving business efficiency, especially in the digital age.

In particular, households are also trained in sales skills, applying technology to put products on social networking platforms to expand the market, adapt to digital transformation trends, and develop business.

In mountainous areas, WVI also implements a series of projects to improve livelihoods for households with children.

The program helps support crops and livestock, develop economic models suitable for the locality, helping households do business, develop the economy, improve income, and actively contribute to the socio-economic development process in the area.

Ms. Vu Thi Nga, Director of Regional Program Operations at WVI, said that under the merger, WVI continues to maintain and implement programs and projects that it has committed to funding.

At the same time, research and propose new suitable projects, focusing on mountainous areas, remote areas, and ethnic minority areas with many difficulties, contributing to promoting the development of difficult areas, towards the goal of building an increasingly better community.
