Sharing experiences in implementing poverty reduction work, Mr. Vu Van Loc, Chairman of Cuu Cao Commune People's Committee affirmed: The poverty reduction policy is implemented by the commune in a practical manner, helping poor households have "fishing rods" rather than just "fish". Therefore, the Party Committee of the commune assigns socio-political organizations to grasp the needs of union members and members to support appropriate livelihoods; provide credit with credit institutions to help poor households borrow capital at preferential interest rates and assign cadres and members to accompany and help poor households manage investment capital well. On the other hand, the commune actively propagates and supports poor workers to learn vocational skills and introduce free jobs... Thanks to that, the rate of people of working age with regular jobs in the commune reaches over 96%; in 2024, the average income per capita in the commune will reach over 92.4 million VND/year; The proportion of well-off and rich households accounts for 71%.

People of working age have jobs and stable incomes, helping Van Giang district sustainably reduce poverty.

From a poor household , thanks to the support of benefactors, Mrs. Pham Thi Voc and her daughter in Long Hung commune (Van Giang) overcame the "death door" and had money to pay for long-term treatment due to work-related and traffic accidents. In 2025, her family received over 70 million VND from all levels to repair their house and sanitation facilities. Mrs. Voc emotionally said: My two children received loans from the Social Policy Bank to cover their study expenses. My eldest daughter is not self-conscious about her disability and has returned to school to continue her studies after the accident. Now, my family is supported by the district to repair the house and is subsidized 1.8 million VND/month. I no longer have to worry about the economic burden and can rest assured to take care of my 95-year-old mother. I am very grateful to the Party, authorities at all levels, and the People for helping my family overcome hardships and difficulties.
