Ms. Mua Thi Do, a H'Mong woman in Hang Tau village, was the first person we met when we stopped the car in front of the concrete road connecting National Highway 6 to the village. Smiling brightly to greet the guests, Ms. Do was even happier when we asked about the clean water supply project to the village that had just been completed. Pointing to the house at the beginning of the village, Ms. Do said: That house is quite far from the center of Hang Tau village, but there is still clean water delivered to the house. In the past few months, since the clean water project was completed, the villagers, especially the women, have had much less hardships. Every day, instead of carrying cans of water from the mountains, the women have time to tend to the vegetable garden and the chickens at home.
According to Ms. Do, in the past, women had to carry water every day along a path leading up the precarious mountainside on the side of Pha Din Pass. The way up was steep but much less dangerous than the way down, because when they were going down with a heavy load, if they accidentally slipped, both the person and the water could fall. "Not having to worry about carrying water every day, women in the village also no longer have to worry about falling or having an accident," Ms. Due to sharing.
Sharing the joy of having a clean water project in the village, and having water pipes to each house for daily life and production, Mr. Lau Pao Ly in Hang Tau village also bragged about the flower and vegetable gardens at the school. In the hot summer, the school was closed but the villagers still took turns to water the flowers and take care of the vegetables.
As a surveyor, mobilizing people to join hands to build a clean water project for the village and also a contributor throughout the project implementation process, Mr. Pham Van Tuan (former officer of the Departmentof Education and Training of the old Tuan Giao district) shared: Like many other highland villages, people in Hang Tau are hard-working but life still faces many difficulties and shortages. Among them, the lack of water is the most difficult. Understanding the expectations of the people here, we proactively called for and connected with the sponsor, the Vietnam Health - Culture - Education Fund, to support the construction of a clean water project in the village.
After more than three months of construction, the Hang Tau village water supply project has been completed, with the capacity to supply water to 364 people in 74 families in Hang Tau village. The total cost of more than 550 million VND, supported by the Vietnam Health - Culture - Education Fund, was used to build a main tank, a main pipeline system of more than 5 km long and nearly 1 km of branch lines to bring water to each household.
Sharing the same joy as the people of Hang Tau village, for the past month since the completion of the domestic water project, the people of Toa Tinh and Che A villages still think it is a dream. Mr. Sung A Pao, a resident of Toa Tinh village, said: In mid-June, Mr. Do Van Son announced that the project had been completed and that families would have water at home for use, but the elderly in the village still did not believe it. Only when they sat at the door of their house and scooped up the cool water to wash their faces did the elderly exclaim with joy. And for the first time, the children were able to freely splash in the water right in the village.
Expressing his gratitude for the valuable support from the Vietnam Health-Culture-Education Fund and the teachers at the Department of Education and Training of Tuan Giao district (old) who enthusiastically connected and supported the construction of clean water projects for the people in the villages, Mr. Vu A Chu, member of the Inspection Committee of Quai To commune, Dien Bien province, said: In addition to the budget for building clean water projects for three villages (Hang Tau, Toa Tinh, Che A) of more than two billion VND, the teachers also helped the people with hundreds of working days to transport materials and support the construction. Water to each village and each house has not only solved the problem of water shortage for the H'Mong ethnic people in the highlands but also contributed to raising people's awareness in preserving the living environment, preserving forests, and protecting forests to protect water sources. At the same time, through that, Toa Tinh commune will gradually complete the criteria of "environment and food safety" in the new rural construction program that has been implemented for many years...
