The first impression when meeting veteran Bui
Xuan Nui in Thong Nhat hamket, Lac Luong commune was his agility and passion
for household economic development. Previously, his family developed
cultivation in combination with animal husbandry, but at a small scale. Since
February 2021, he has developed a buffalo and cow farming model on a site of
120 sq.m with 11 heads. To have a food supply available, he renovated his 3,000
sq.m garden to grow elephant grasses and over 3ha of white sugarcane. He earns
about 200 million VND on average each year.
The communal war veterans’ association has 289
members in eight chapters. During the 2016-2021 period, the movement "War
veterans help each other reduce povery, do business” attracted many veterans
who ventured to escape poverty and make rich in the homeland. The association
urged its members to switch to grow new plants, breed new animals, adopt
technological advances to increase production and quality. The commune has two
working groups, four farms, 18 production and trade facilities owned by
veterans, which generated jobs to nearly 100 local workers with an average
monthly income of 4-6 million VND per capita. At present, the rate of middle
and high-income veterans’ households accounts for 91 percent, and four out of
eight veterans’ chapters do not have poor members.
Apart from developing household economy, war
veterans upheld the sense of solidarity and offered mutual support to escape
poverty sustainably. Each year, funds raised by them are used to create capital
and help poor members. This year, the communal veterans’ association built a
fund worth 130.1 million VND, or 451,000 VND per member on average. In
partnership with the communal branch of the Vietnam Bank for Social Policies
with a total outstanding loan worth 10.1 billion VND, the association helped
223 veterans’ households and residents access loans. It also maintains 2-3
training sessions per year in the fields of cultivation, animal husbandry and technological
transfer. It also partnered with the district veterans’ association to support
the construction of two houses for poor members./.
