The joy of Pieng Luong children receiving new warm clothes.

Pieng Luong is home to the Khmu people, the households mainly migrated from the Ban Ve hydroelectric reservoir area in the former Luan Mai commune. This is the most difficult village in Nhon Mai commune, the main source of income depends on slash-and-burn farming, farming techniques are still backward so productivity and output are low. Traffic is difficult, from the commune center to Pieng Luong, you have to go by boat or on foot and the low level of education of the people has limited the socio-economic development here.

Donate warm care to the poor in Pieng Luong.

The gift delivered by the Youth Union of Hoa Binh town will help the people and students of Pieng Luong cope with the harsh weather in the highlands, contributing to bringing the warmth of Spring to remote, poor villages.
