The green skin pomelo garden of Mau Van Duc’s family (Nuoc Nhi village) is a typical example of the effective model. The team planted trees in the garden for Duc’s family in 2017. Thanks to the instruction of the team, and the efforts of the family, the pomelo garden has flourished, giving an annual income of hundreds of millions of VND.

Mr. Duc held that previously, his family lived in poverty. They have benefited from the team’s support and care in all fields, especially the pomelo garden, helping him develop economy. His family is currently out of poverty.

Meanwhile, Mr. Chieu Dinh Khanh’s jackfruit garden in Son Thanh village has also provided him with stable income, helping him escape from poverty and create favorable conditions for his children to continue their study.

These are effective livelihood models supported by the team, contributing to helping locals develop economy and stabilize their lives. According to Senior Colonel Dinh Van Hung, Deputy Political Commissar of the Khanh Hoa provincial Military Command, initially, the team mostly visited and presented gifts to needy and policy households. However, after that, the team decided to implement effective economic models to practically support the needy people, such as offering breeding cows and planting trees with high economic values, among others.

So far, the team has planted more than six hectares of green skin pomelo, 12,000 jackfruit trees; offered dozens of buffaloes, breeding cows, and many water pumps; and presented bicycles and money to support needy students, to name but a few.

Vice Chairwoman of the Khanh Phu commune People’s Committee Mrs. Truong Thi Kim Thoa affirmed that the support of the team contributed to the commune’s effective implementation of the poverty reduction policy. “In the coming time, the commune hopes that the team will further boost dissemination work and implement livelihood models,” added Mrs. Thoa.

The supporting model has contributed to helping the local authorities soon complete the goals of sustainable poverty reduction and building the new-style rural area as well as socio-economic development, and ensuring defense and security work. This practical model should be multiplied nationwide in the near future.
