Mon village

there is no family living just above the poverty line. The average income per
capita in the area is estimated at 30 million VND (nearly 1,300 USD) per annum,
an increase by 2 million VND from last year.
About 95
percent of the families received dissemination on policies and regulations,
while all households are connected to the national power grid. Around 90
percent of local roads were concretised, facilitating transport and economic
growth of the residential areas.
