As the leader, Ms. Lu Thi Le - President of the Women's Union of Chau Hoi commune, together with the Standing Committee of the Women's Union of the commune, selected the content and launched the movement "Women with a green, clean, beautiful environment"; built a "green - clean - beautiful" self-managed road for women. Through the movement and the implementation of the self-managed road model, it has contributed to raising awareness, creating habits of cleaning village roads, alleys, and classifying waste among women members in particular and people in general.
In particular, from waste classification associated with the construction of the model "Using cans and plastics to build the association fund" in the early days and now developing into the model "Turning waste into savings books and hygienic toilets" has created a resource to implement a number of specific targets and tasks of the association. Such as supporting 12 poor women to buy breeding animals to develop the economy; buying and giving 3 savings books to disabled and especially difficult members; supporting the construction of 30 hygienic toilets.
