The model of raising goats for breeding and meat of farmers in Vo village, Thong Nhat commune (Lac Thuy) has a stable market, creating sustainable livelihoods.

Sinh shared, "In the past, I and my husband used to work as hired labourers to make a living. Then we got the attention of the Women’s Union and were sent to a class on transferring scientific and technical advances and provided with a 50-million VND loan, I took the courage to start a new direction of animal husbandry. In 2020, my family's goat herd has only 20 heads, but now the figure has multiplied to more than 100. The model brings us an average annual income of about 200 million VND.”

Not only working hard and being eager to do business, Sinh also actively supports other member households in connecting and promoting the sale of livestock products in the market. 

Previously, Thong Nhat, An Binh, Hung Thi, Phu Nghia, Khoan Du and Yen Bong communes faced many difficulties in socio-economic development. In order to promote sustainable poverty reduction for these communes, Party committees from the district to commune level have synchronously implemented solutions and sought programmes and projects integrated with the national target programme on poverty reduction. Typically, three poverty reduction models have been built in An Binh, Khoan Du and Hung Thi communes, thus contributing to creating jobs for 120 rural workers. Associations and mass organisations of farmers, women and youth have also actively participated in carrying out many programmes and activities to support members in plant varieties and access to credit, as well as opening courses on training, guiding techniques for the care and disease prevention for plants and animals.

Dinh Thi Thu Huyen, head of the district’s Department of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs said that once a locality with a relatively high poverty rate (18.5 percent in 2015), the district has made a breakthrough, rising to the top group in terms of achieving new-style rural building criteria of the province. 

This outstanding result has contributed importantly to poverty reduction efforts. The Party Committee, authorities and people of the district reduced the poverty rate in 2021 to 3.43 percent, and achieved an average per capita income of 61.2 million VND. /.
