Vo Thi My (Hamlet Phuoc Da 3, Ninh Da Ward) used to suffer many financial difficulties. She and her husband could not work because of their poor health; therefore, her family had to live on the salary of their son. Ninh Da Commune Women’s Association helped her to borrow money from mortgage loans. With the amount of money borrowed, she bought cows and now she earned tens of VND million a year from the sale of calves. In the mid-year of 2014, her family could afford to repair their house and recently bought household items.
