Efforts to develop economy
Previously, on an area of 10,000m2, Le Thi Thanh's family (in Tan Ninh hamlet) mainly cultivated rice and short-term crops such as watermelons, peppers, vegetables... but the economic efficiency was not high and their life was very difficult. In 2013, Ninh Trung Commune Women's Union lent her 20 million VND; therefore, her family renovated a part of the land to grow coconut trees. Expanding the area gradually, up to now, her family has 150 coconut trees, earning an income of 10-12 million VND/month.
In addition, she also invested in coconut seedlings, supplying more than 2,000 trees to the market each year, earning about 120 million VND. In 2020, she transferred 5,000m2 of rice land to high-yield lotus cultivation, dug ponds to raise fish, raising chickens in the garden.... “Taking technical training courses on planting and caring for trees organized by the Women's Union and the Farmers' Union of the commune, I know how to apply science and technology to production. Our coconut trees grow well, produce lots of fruits. Thanks to that, my family has risen up", Thanh shared.

Seven years ago, with a 30 million dong loan from Ninh Trung Commune Women's Union, the family of Nguyen Thi Kim Nhung (in Quang Cu hamlet) converted some inefficient crops to growing green-skin grapefruit trees. Since then, the orchard has been expanded year by year, which has been 10,000 square meters now. Each year, her orchard earns about 180-200 million VND. In addition, she also has 70 coconut trees, earning 4-5 million VND/month and raises hundreds of chickens every year. Moreover, Nhung also actively participates in the emulation movements of the union and enthusiastically helps other members with techniques and plant varieties.
Many activities to support members
According to Nguyen Thi Thu Thuy - Chairwoman of Ninh Trung Commune Women's Union, the above are only two of the 30 members, good at doing business and actively participating in the union's work, have just been commended by the association. In recent years, in order to promote the role of women in participating in economic development, the union has implemented many activities to help women develop economy and escape poverty. Every year, the union develops a plan and specifically reviews the list of poor to proposes specific supports suitable to the circumstances of each household. From 2016 until now, the union has mobilized to support the construction and repair of 9 orphanges with the amount of more than 200 million VND; support 600 green-skin grapefruit trees and more than 500 breeding chickens and cows for members with difficult circumstances… In addition, the union also exploits bank capital to give loans to members.
In the coming time, the union will continue to exploit the capital support program for members to develop their economy, and mobilize members to continue implementing savings models; promote the movements "Women help each other to develop family economy", "Helping poor women"; guide planting and care techniques for high yielding plants; continue to implement the activities of Project 939 "Supporting women in starting a business" for the period 2017 – 2025.
