(HBO) – Quach Thi Nhu, a local resident in Dong Bac commune (Kim Boi district, Hoa Binh province) and her husband have set up and smoothly run production and business activities of Hung Nhi Kim Boi One-Member Co., Ltd, helping to creating jobs for hundreds of rural women. That success stems from their persistence and the go-ahead spirit.

Owning a house located on
National Highway 12B next to Ranh market,
Nhu opened a tailoring shop and brought her products to the market for sale.
With the help of her husband, Nhu frequently came to the Ranh market of Dong
Bac commune, Bai Chao market of Tu Son commune and Tram market of Son Thuy
commune (Kim Boi district) to sell clothes designed and produced by her own. In
2010 - 2011, as the shop was busy, the couple had to hire two extra workers. At
this time, Nhu had chances to visit a number of garment factories in
Hanoi and Ha
Nam province. An idea flashed in her
head: Why do not we try to approach new ways of doing business by doing outwork
for companies and production establishments?
Realising the idea, in parallel with tailoring,
the couple agreed to produce supermarket bags for a workshop in Bo town, Kim
Boi district. After getting acquainted with the new job, they gradually expanded
production in 2013 by buying 35 old sewing machines worth over 200 million VND from
the factory in Bo town. In November 2013, the couple established a company
named Hung Nhi Kim Boi One-Member Co., Ltd. At the same time, they focused on
producing bags to directly supply to Casablanca Vietnam joint Stock Company.
At present, the Hung Nhi Kim Boi One-Member Co.,
Ltd. has 10 garment workshops located in Bo town and Thuong Bi, Ha Bi, Thuong
Tien, Hop Dong, Dong Bac and Binh Son communes of Kim Boi district and Phu Lao commune
of Lac Thuy district. With nearly 200 sewing machines, the company has created
jobs for over 100 employees. A majority of them are part-time labourers because
they are rural women and take the jobs to increase their incomes.
To create and maintain the workforce, Nhu has
regularly coordinated with Kim Boi district’s Vocational Education and Training
Centre, as well as training programmes and projects of the Farmers' Association
and the Women's
Union to create labour supply
sources. After supporting trainees in vocational training, the company has
enabled them to work at its production workshops. This is what Hung Nhi Kim Boi
has done over the past two years.
In
2014, the company was awarded a certificate of merit by the Director of the provincial
Department of Labour, War Invalids and Social Affairs for its achievements in
vocational training for rural workers in accordance with Decision No. 1956 /
QD-TTg of the Prime Minister for the 2010-2014 period.
In
June 2016, Nhu was chosen as one of 12 excellent individuals of the province to
attend a conference to commend and award outstanding ethnic minority women in
the north-western region held by the Steering Committee for North-western
Region and the Vietnam Women's Union Central Committee in Nghe An province. At
this conference, the Hung Nhi Kim Boi One-Member Co., Ltd. was awarded a
certificate of merit of the Steering Committee for North-western Region for
excellent achievements in socio-economic development in the region.
More than just an information technology teacher, Bui Van Nien is an inspiring figure who has nurtured the scientific curiosity and creative spirit of students in Vietnam’s ethnic minority communities.
Da Bac is the most disadvantaged mountainous district in Hoa Binh province, with ethnic minorities accounting for about 90% of its population. Over the past years, the district has mobilised resources to implement ethnic policies to improve the quality of life of local people.
In recent years, Hoa Binh province has consistently prioritised the protection, care, and education of children, particularly those from ethnic minorities and disadvantaged backgrounds, by creating a safe, healthy, and nurturing environment for their all-round development.
The Steering Committee for Tobacco Harm Prevention and Control of Hoa Binh province, in coordination with the Tobacco Harm Prevention and Control Fund, held a ceremony on May 28 in response to the World No Tobacco Day (May 31) and the National No Tobacco Week (from May 25 to 31). The event was chaired by Nguyen Van Toan, Standing Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee and head of the Steering Committee.

This model not only aims to improve the learning conditions and enhance the education quality, but it also promotes the message of energy saving, energy security, environmental protection and contributes to the goals of socio-economic development.
In the 2024 - 2025 school year, the entire Hoa Binh provincial education sector includes 520 educational institutions and schools. Among them are 13 ethnic boarding schools with 153 classes and 4,487 students. Four of these schools have met national standards, reaching 30.7 percent.
