Offering the way to make ends meet
Nguyen Thi Khac in Quarter 3 of Tan Thanh town showed her joy when looking at the industrial sewing machine in the corner of the house. Her husband died early, leaving two young children with disabilities. She became the bread winner of the family. The difficult economic situation in the family is even harder now. Khac said that her family has no conditions for a good life as she herself has to take care of two disabled children, so she cannot have a stable job to sustain life. “Every day, I help the restaurants to earn money to cover family life. Since the sewing machine was offered to me, I received the clothes to repair at home. More hard work, but I'm happy because I have more income, so my mother and daughter's life is also better than before.”
