Outstanding models

The District’s Women's Organization has launched the 'Skillful Mass Mobilization' emulation movement in various fields in a bid to encourage active engagement of officials, members, women, and local people in local political tasks. Many outstanding models have been widely developed during this movement. Included were ‘Donating Ao Dai (Vietnamese traditional dress) – Love connection’ which offered over 1,000 used Ao Dai to the organization’s poor members across 11 communes, hanging Uncle Ho's portrait in house, presenting nearly 500 Uncle Ho's portraits to outstanding women across the district to hang Uncle Ho's portrait in their houses.

Furthermore, many innovative models have been introduced, including ‘Civilized Trash Bins’,’Green Roofs’, ‘Growing Banana Trees to Harvest Leaves’," and ‘Each Trash Pit, One Green Tree’. Besides, fundraising programs have been implemented, including ‘Rice Jar of Love’ and ‘Piggy Bank’ and ‘Rice Field of Love’.

In addition, the Hoa Vang District Women's Organization manages nearly 130 clubs that get involved in culture and sports. These clubs also provide active support to those who need help when they face life difficulties and a social problem. Their two notable models are ‘Engaging men in preventing and eliminating violence against women and children’ and ‘Parents act as pioneers to end domestic violence’.

Members of the Hoa Vang District Women's Organization have played an important role in keeping their rural area green, clean and beautiful through their active participation in developing many initiatives. Included are the ‘Building a Family with 5 No's and 3 Clean's’, along with ‘Collecting, Sorting and Recycling Waste’, and ‘Establishing a Social Welfare Fund’.

Especially, the "Skillful Mass Mobilization in Resettlement and Clearance" initiative has produced positive outcomes. The District Women's Organization has closely worked with local authorities to protect legal rights and benefits of displaced families  in a bid to facilitate timely handover of cleared land for development projects.

Over the past 19 years, Hoa Lien Commune has made great efforts to encourage 3,500 families to voluntarily move out of 40 project development areas. This has helped facilitate timely handover of cleared land to make sure that the construction and delivery of these projects is kept on schedule, thereby driving local socio-economic development. Included are the La Son-Tuy Loan section of the Ho Chi Minh Road Project, the High-Tech Park, the Dedicated Information Technology Park, and the extended Nguyen Tat Thanh Street.

Helping families escape from poverty

In detail, 62 of them have received support from local chapters in 11 communes while the remaining 130 have have been sponsored by organizations and units. Each of them receives cash assistance worth VND 500,000 a month. In addition, special attention has been paid to providing livelihood support, as well as giving scholarships, and gifts totaling over VND 300 million to the needy children.

The Hoa Vang District Women's Organization has facilitated over 5,000 its poor members to get access to preferential loans from the district branch of the Vietnam Bank for Social Policies to help them run their own business to improve their living conditions.

Moreover, the organization has helped 40 poor women in Hoa Phong, Hoa Nhon, Hoa Phu, Hoa Chau, and Hoa Tien communes get access to preferential loans totaling VND 1 billion from the Natural Disaster Prevention and Control Funds in Central Viet Nam to assist them run their own business and repair their degraded houses.
