(HBO) - Located in the most remote area of Lac Sy commune (Yen Thuy), there are 111 households in Thong Nhat hamlet. The local mainly live on agriculture and their main income sources are from forest planting and rice transplantation. It makes it difficult for the socio-economic development of the village because it is far from the center of the commune and the district.

In the whole village, there are up to 70 poor households, accounting for over 60% of the households. In addition, the people there also have difficulty in using hygienic water. Most of the households are using the water source from the taps on the hill leading home. However, due to the topography, the water cannot lead to 41 households. In the dry season, the households have to carry water from the foot of the hill to their home, some households carry water for nearly 1km, such as Mr. Bui Van Luyen’s household.

The clean water works of Thong Nhat hamlet, Lac Sy commune (Yen Thuy) has helped many households to have clean water at home.
