From the beginning of the year, Tu Le commune reviewed and identified the main causes of poverty, analyzing and evaluating the indicators of deprivation in each household. Based on this, the commune determined specific and appropriate policies and solutions to support poor households and give them more motivation to improve their lives.

Simultaneously, actively carry out communication and advocacy work to change mindsets and practices, inspire the will to escape poverty, and overcome the mentality of waiting and relying on state support and investment.

Mr. Ly A Sau, Secretary of the Party Branch of Se Sang village, shared: "In 2025, the village has been assigned to reduce the number of poor households by 7. The Party Branch has developed and issued a resolution on poverty reduction, assigning specific tasks to each Party member to be in charge of groups of households to take the lead, implement the measures first, and then propagate, mobilize, and guide the people to follow suit."

In addition to 65 hectares of land used for two rice crops per year to ensure food security, the people of Se Sang village have boldly expanded into three commercial goat farming models with a scale of 50 or more goats, two buffalo and cattle farming models with a scale of 10 or more buffaloes, a 5-hectare model of Tan sticky rice cultivation following commercial farming practices, and a bamboo shoot cultivation model covering over 3 hectares… to increase their income.

In the first months of 2025, the commune focused on providing support for house construction and vocational training according to provincial programs and projects, helping people access two out of six basic social services.

At the same time, it is urgent to address the consequences of the four natural disasters and complete the restoration of basic social services such as education , healthcare, and communication in the area.

In the first nine months of 2025, the commune provided employment for 212 people; 42 households received funding to build new houses and repair existing ones, ensuring they meet the "three solid" standards (solid walls, solid roof, solid roof).

Furthermore, socio- political organizations in the area have also effectively fulfilled their entrusted role with the Social Policy Bank of Van Chan, from reviewing and assessing eligible borrowers, disbursing funds promptly, to providing support and advice on production and business methods to ensure borrowers use capital for the right purposes and effectively.

As of October 31st, the entire commune had 1,157 poor and near-poor households borrowing capital, with a total outstanding debt of 63.2 billion VND.

Thanks to preferential loans, many households have boldly built and developed economic models suitable to local advantages such as: growing specialty rice, raising livestock, or developing community tourism. Typical examples include Ms. Nung Thi Vien in Ban Com village, Ms. Nghiem Thi Thanh, Ms. Luong Thi Minh, and Mr. Vi Van Cuong in Pom Ban village…

Following the merger, Tu Le commune promptly reorganized the Steering Committee for Poverty Reduction, assigning specific tasks to members with clear responsibilities for each village, each poor household, and each criterion; and established a Steering Committee for National Target Programs to determine the content of support projects in accordance with the allocation and budget decisions from national target programs.

In 2025, Tu Le commune was allocated 6,791.8 million VND to implement national target programs, including 2,106 million VND for the National Target Program on Sustainable Poverty Reduction to implement 4 projects; and 4,670.7 million VND for the National Target Program on Economic Development in Ethnic Minority Areas to implement 7 projects...

We hope to receive detailed guidance on procedures soon so that the commune can proceed with implementation."

In the last two months of the year, Tu Le commune will maximize the use of state support resources and programs/projects to ensure timely allocation to the right beneficiaries. Currently, the commune is finalizing procedures to implement livelihood support for 51 poor households through a model of breeding buffalo and cattle, with support of 2 buffalo or cattle per household; opening 2 short-term vocational training classes; and supporting improved nutrition in highland villages…
