Presenting livelihood models to landmine victims

Speaking at the event, VNASMA’s Standing Vice Chairman, Lieutenant General Pham Ngoc Khoa, noted that over nearly 11 years, the association has disseminated mine accident prevention information to local communities, supported livelihood models for more than 6,000 victims, and presented gifts and bicycles to numerous disadvantaged students. He expressed hope that local residents and students would continue to raise their awareness of mine safety, and that landmine victims would make the most of the livelihood models to improve their economic conditions and escape poverty sustainably.

On behalf of the beneficiaries, Mr. Nguyen Huy Luong from Ha Linh Commune pledged to use the support responsibly by investing in appropriate livestock, enhancing animal husbandry skills, managing the funding effectively, and contributing to local community development.
