In A Luoi 5 Commune, the “Accompanying Women in Border Areas” programme presented 110 gifts, each worth 1 million VND, to members and women facing difficult circumstances. Six livelihood models, consisting of six pairs of breeding pigs along with gifts, were also presented to women wishing to develop their household economies.
The total funding for the support activities under the programme was 130 million VND, sourced from the Viet Nam Fatherland Front Committee of Hue City, the emulation clusters of the Hue City Women's Union, and participating organisations and individuals.
Ra Pat Thach, from Hong Ha Village, A Luoi 5 Commune, said that the pair of breeding pigs provided practical resources for her family to develop livestock farming and gradually stabilise their lives.
According to Duong Thi Thu Thuy, Vice Chairwoman of the Viet Nam Fatherland Front Committee of Hue City and Chairwoman of the Hue City Women's Union, the livelihood models were provided to create additional conditions for members and women, particularly ethnic minority women, to develop their household economies. The Hue City Women's Union also hopes that the models will be maintained, with experience shared and the models replicated.
On the same day, in A Luoi 2 Commune, the Hue City Women's Union organised the “Product Connection-Cashless Payment” market with 15 stalls. The stalls showcased agricultural produce, distinctive local products, OCOP products and products made and traded by women, including ethnic minority women.
The market also introduced women's start-up ideas and projects, as well as products associated with the culture of the Ta Oi and Pa Co ethnic groups, among others; thereby creating additional channels to promote and connect the consumption of products made by women in mountainous areas.
As part of the event, the 2026 Festival of “Outstanding Ethnic Minority and Mountainous Families” was also held, with the participation of seven families from A Luoi 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 communes and Binh Dien Commune.
