In the first seven months of this year,
loans under those credit programmes totalled 653.29 billion VND (28.05 million USD),
with 20,410 poor households and social policy beneficiaries receiving loans.
Some credit programmes recorded strong
growth, notably those targeting families near the poverty line or just escaping
poverty, households engaging in production and business in disadvantaged areas,
along with programmes for clean water and rural environmental hygiene.
Credit of social policy programmes has
helped create jobs for 614 workers and 29 disadvantaged students continue their
studies.
In addition, nearly 6,890 clean water and hygiene
works were built or repaired in rural areas, along with 406 new houses for poor
families.
Thousands of households in remote and disadvantaged
areas received loans to start their business, thereby overcoming their difficulties
and raising their livelihoods. The source of credit also contributed to curbing
shark loans and effectively implementing the national target programme on sustainable
poverty reduction and building new-style rural areas in the province./.
