Tam hamlet is located on
Ho Chi Minh Road but local people are aware of following traffic rules by not
encroaching roadsides to sell products. Additionally, all local people voluntarily
join health insurance. They are noteworthy achievements of Tam hamlet since it
has been recognised as the healthy and cultural village.
Nguyen Sy Hinh, head of Tam hamlet, disseminates criteria for
a healthy and cultural village model to local people.
Since 2012, Tam hamlet has
always maintained the cultural village title. The hamlet has 60 households and 218
people, with 93 percent of households recognised as cultural families.
Understanding the importance of health, environment protection and joint
economic development, local people have made numerous efforts for a long time
and in 2016, the hamlet became the sole locality of Hung Thi commune recognised
as a healthy and cultural village.
From that time, the hamlet
has implemented many programmes benefitting local people such as setting up a lighting
system across the hamlet. All households now have hygienic toilets and
dust-holes. The hamlet has successfully formed self-managed groups, including a
group responsible for environmental sanitation managed by the local woman’s
union and another for security-order managed by war soldiers.
Local people were taught how
to clean their houses and surrounding areas, keep water clean, and prevent
hygiene-related diseases such as eye and digestive problems, worms and
tapeworms, as well as mosquito-borne diseases, among others.
There were currently eight
companies operating in Tam hamlet. To ensure waste from those companies does
not affect the living environment, the hamlet assigned the self-managed women’s
group on environment sanitation to disseminate proper waste treatment process
for the companies, which warmly responded to this activity.
Local people are aware of
health care for themselves and their families. All people in the hamlet join in
health insurance and regular medical checkups while children are fully
vaccinated.
Besides, local people have
always exerted joint efforts to bolster economic development, as average income
per capita of this year is higher than that of the previous year. Dinh Van
Hung, head of the local war soldiers’ association, said that Tam hamlet has
developed a beekeeping club comprising 10 households with 600 swarms of bees,
raking in more than 1 billion VND a year in income. As many as 15 members of
the association participate in the club, which also attracts 20 members of war
soldiers’ associations of other hamlets. The club is ready to provide technical
guidance for people who are interested in beekeeping.
Bui Van Duong, Chairman of
the People’s Committee of Hung Thi commune, said the healthy and cultural village
model in Tam hamlet, in combination with the "all people stay united to build a
cultural life” campaign, has made positive changes in health care and
environment protection for local people./.
