At present, loan outstanding balance reaches 8.7 billion VND (377,000 USD), benefiting 304 households. In addition, the association manages 494 million VND of the Childfund project, which provides loans for 506 members. These loans have proved effective, and many outstanding individuals in economic development appear, such as Bui Thi Huong and Bui Thi Lien in Bua Sao village with a wax gourd growing model, and Bui Thi Hien in Bai Tam village with a citrus growing model.


The wax gourd and bitter melon growing model brings about income of 8-10 million VND a month for the family of Ms Bui Thi Thuy in Bua Sao village.

Ms Bui Thi Thuy, member of the Du Sang Women’s Association – Bua Sao chapter, said: "In the past, as my family’s economy depended on rice cultivation, our life was so hard and our income was not much. Thanks to the movement of crop transformation of the commune Women's Union, and the support of entrusted loans from the Vietnam Bank for Social Policies, I bravely shifted the area of rice cultivation to growing vegetables, thus bringing high economic efficiency. Currently, my family grows wax gourd and bitter melon, with the average income of 8-10 million VND a month ".

The association and its all-level chapters have disseminated and encouraged women to implement family planning, avoid giving the third child, use safe contraceptive methods and improve the quality of the population. To boost the implementation of the campaign "Women join hands in the new-style rural area building", members have actively contributed money, labour days to participate in digging and clearing canals, building infrastructure facilities and roads, well maintaining the roads self-governed by women, conducting monthly sanitation, preserving environmental landscapes, and ensuring security and order./.
