(HBO) – Yen Mong commune has implemented eight social policy credit programmes providing local villagers soft loans with total outstanding debt of more than 8.7 billion VND with 482 borrowers.
Provided with soft loans by the Bank
for Social Policies of Hoa Binh city, Nguyen Thi Lam and her family in Moi Mit
village, Yen Mong commune had money to build their own clean water supply and
sanitation facilities, improving their living conditions.
Among projects provided with soft loans under the eight social
policy credit programmes, those in clean water supply and environmental
sanitation have received over 4.6 billion VND, or 52.9 percent of the total
outstanding debt, the highest level. More than 1.8 billion VND went to production
and business projects while job creation programmes have been offered about 700
million VND.
Overdue debts accounted for 0.08 percent of the outstanding debts.
The savings deposits by the credit programmes’ beneficiaries were worth nearly
500 million VND.
The commune has 14 groups responsible for verifying local
applicants for soft loans and supervising the use of loans.
To promote the effective use of the provided soft credit, the Bank
for Social Policy in Hoa Binh city has coordinated with local authorities and mass
organisations to review poor and near-poor households and policy beneficiary
families in need of loans and assess if they are qualified.
The city has not only offered preferential loans for people to
expand production but also organised training courses on farming techniques for
new crops and livestock and applying technology in agriculture. Local people
have been also encouraged to attend short-term vocational training courses to
equip themselves with knowledge and techniques to improve productivity.
The State’s preferential loans have fundamentally met the credit
demand of local people, Chairman of Yen Mong commune’s People’s Committee
Nguyen Huu Minh said.
The loans have helped create jobs for thousands of villagers, thus
lifting them out of poverty and improving their housing conditions. In
addition, they have enabled more local students to pursue higher education, he
added.
By the end of 2018, the commune’s poverty rate fell to 2.1 percent
and the per capita income reached 40 million VND per year./.
Voluntary blood donation (HMTN) is a noble and humane gesture. 24 years ago, the Prime Minister issued Decision No. 43/2000/QD-TTg on mobilizing and encouraging Voluntary blood donation and designated April 7 every year as "All-People Voluntary blood donation Day”. This is an important milestone in the movement of voluntary blood donation, creating a strong change in the awareness and action at all levels of the government and people from all walks of life.
