Ky Son is one of three districts in Nghe An province classified as among the poorest districts in the country. The people in the district still heavily rely on government subsidies, which is a significant obstacle to the district's development. In particular, the two communes of Huoi Tu and Na Loi remain classified as poor communes. The lives of the people mainly depend on slash-and-burn agriculture and small-scale livestock farming.
 |
| The Mong people of Huoi Tu commune were deeply moved by the kind gifts from Sao Sang Group of Hai Phong and other organizations. |
 |
| Warm blankets, new clothes, rice, dishes... were all joyfully received by the villagers. |
With the approval and after surveying by the Social Security Department of the Provincial Police, the delegation, in coordination with the Provincial Children's Protection Fund and the Ky Son District Youth Union, organized a charitable gift-giving program for two villages in Huoi Tu commune, including two Mong villages: Huoi Mu (84 households) and Huoi Le (38 households). In Na Loi commune, the delegation also visited, shared, and presented gifts to 40 households in Huoi Ngoi village and 60 households in Don Boong village. These villages, inhabited by the Khmu ethnic group, are considered particularly disadvantaged and border Xieng Khouang province of Laos. In total, the delegation distributed gifts to 224 households in Ky Son district, with 224 gift packages worth over 200 million VND. Each gift package included blankets, mosquito nets, clothes, rice, salt, sugar, soap, dishes, sandals, and mooncakes.

| The members of the group took the opportunity to grab a quick bite of bread before setting off to the two villages in Na Loi commune. |
 |
| Not only adults, but also a large number of Khơ Mú children from the two villages of Huồi Ngoi and Đồn Boong in Na Loi commune were eager to receive Mid-Autumn Festival gifts. |
 |
| The gifts were handed directly to each resident. |

The total weight of the gifts exceeded 4 tons. Due to the cold, rainy weather and muddy roads, cars couldn't get through, so the team hired 25 motorbike taxis to transport the goods to the villages and deliver them directly to the households.
 |
| On behalf of the youth of Ky Son district, Ms. Xa Thi Xi, Secretary of the District Youth Union, sincerely thanked the Nguyen Gia Thao Fund (Sao Sang Group, Hai Phong) and the delegation for their kindness towards the poor people of Ky Son district. |
Previously, on the occasion of the 68th anniversary of the Day of War Invalids and Martyrs (July 27, 2015), Sao Sang Hai Phong Group organized a visit and presented gifts to war invalids and sick soldiers at the Nghe An Mental and Neurological War Invalids Rehabilitation Center with gifts and items worth 30 million VND.
