Assistance in difficult time
Capital assistance team is set up at lodging house no.2/6 in Dong A quarter, Dong Hoa ward with the participation of 12 members who contribute VND500,000 per capita per month. Accordingly, members in need will enjoy a timely capital assistance source.
In the end of 2012, the second child of Dinh Thi Thuy from Ninh Binh province suffered serious disease. Thuy forced to quit her job to take care of her ill child. All expenses for a 4 member family had to base on her husband’s modest income. At that time, she received a capital source from the capital assistance team timely.
Thuy said that this assistance helped my family overcome difficulties.
Assistance on household economy
In early Feb. 2013, Pham Nhat Huong from Thanh Hoa Northern province asked to be assisted capital for food business. Enjoying this capital source, she and her husband started their trade work. Every day, they get up early to purchase foods and re-sell for workers lodgers. Huong shared “Our monthly income is at only VND5-6mil, so we have to save maximum to pay tuition and livelihood expenses. This capital source helps us earn more VND2-3mil per month”.
Meanwhile, a couple from the Mekong Delta province of Tra Vinh, Nguyen Thi Thuy Van and her husband use this capital assistance for their future. After working time at company, her husband joins in a training class on industrial electricity in a bid to improve their income in the future.
