Nguyen Thi Nu, a resident of Thach Ly sub-area in Da Bac township of Da Bac district, has been popular in the area as a simple woman that is rich in compassion. For nearly 10 years, she has spread her kindness through many charity activities to ease difficulties for the needy.

activity at the district’s healthcare station.
Born in Giao Thuy district of Nam Dinh province, Nu was a worker at the Da Bac
construction company from 1979 to 1982 when the firm was dissolved. She has
worked hard to take care of her sick husband and four children.
Despite her difficulties, she has conducted many charity activities since
January 2017, including providing free meals to patients at the district
healthcare station. Rain or shine, every Thursday, she cooks porridge to serve
60 - 70 patients. Besides porridge portions, she has added rice and cake to the
menu.
In 2021, she started to sponsor a poor student in Enh village of Tan Minh
commune in Da Bac.
"I myself come from a poor family and have a tough life, so I understand the
situation of poor people, especially vulnerable families with members receiving
treatment at the district health station, so to my ability, if I can help
someone, I'm willing to do it,” stated Nu.
She said that she cannot remember how many people and families that she has
helped or how much she has spent on the charity activities over the past nearly
10 years. Nu has actively engaged in movements launched by the local administration,
saying this is a way for her and other people like her to find a better version
of themselves.
Bui Thanh Phan, Secretary of the Party Cell of Thach Ly sub-area, said that
charities activities that Nu has conducted are worthy of respect with a strong
spillover effect in the community.
Nu's beautiful actions have contributed to promoting the spirit of "mutual
support and solidarity" in the community. With meaningful contributions,
Nu was awarded the title "Good people, good deeds" in 2023 by the People's
Committee of Da Bac township.
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.
Since 2021, the Center for Industrial Promotion and Industrial Development Consulting (CIIDC) under the Department of Industry and Trade has been implementing a school lighting model as part of the plan for using energy efficiently and economically in Hoa Binh Province in the pẻiod of 2021 - 2025. 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.
