Nghe An focuses on disbursing loan programs according to Resolution No. 11 of the Government

Motivation to help people restore production

Promoting the positive effects of low-interest loans from the socio-economic recovery and development program under Resolution 11 of the Government, many disadvantaged and poor households in Quynh Luu district have had the opportunity to invest in their children's education, develop suitable professions, and gradually escape poverty.

For example, Ms. Le Thi Nga in Phu Thanh village, Quynh Long commune, her husband is a fisherman, often away from home, she works as a hired worker and takes care of her children. The family has just rebuilt an old house, the loan for the house has not been paid off yet, fortunately she was able to borrow policy credit from Resolution 11 to buy computers for her children's education.

In Quy Hop district, poverty alleviation with preferential interest rate capital is no longer a strange thing. The model of escaping poverty and getting rich has appeared more and more thanks to borrowing capital from the Social Policy Bank. A typical example is the model of borrowing capital to create jobs of 100 million VND to raise black apple snails and ornamental shrimp on a large scale of Mr. Vi Tuan Anh's family in Hoa Thanh hamlet, Chau Quang commune; or Ms. Quang Thi Thu Phuong's family in Con hamlet, Chau Quang commune borrowed 40 million VND from the housing loan program according to Decree 28/ND-CP of the Government and borrowed 50 million VND from the poor household capital to buy breeding buffalo.

Ms. Phuong shared: "Thanks to preferential loans from the Social Policy Bank, my family has a warm home and capital to invest in production development. Having what we have today is truly a dream. We hope to continue to be given favorable conditions to borrow capital to raise livestock, stabilize our lives, and escape poverty."

Also in Chau Quang commune, the family of Mr. Vi Van Nguyen (Don Mong hamlet) is a typical example of effective use of loan capital. Mr. Nguyen borrowed 50 million VND from the near-poor household to buy breeding cows and borrowed 20 million VND from the Clean Water and Environmental Sanitation Program, enjoying a 2% interest rate reduction support policy for 2 years 2022-2023 under the Economic Recovery and Development Program after the Covid-19 pandemic according to Resolution 11/NQ-CP of the Government.
