Disbursing 300 million VND in livelihood support loans to disadvantaged women in Ca Mau

The event was attended by Mr. Cao Minh Quang - Vice Chairman of Nam Can Commune People's Committee, Ms. Phan Thi Trang Phuong - Chairwoman of Nam Can Commune Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee, Ms. Tran Hong Diep - Director of For Vietnamese Stature Foundation, Mr. Lu Thanh Nhi - Sales Manager of BAC A BANK Ca Mau Branch, representatives of the Women's Union of the two communes, and 30 female beneficiaries.

The funding comes from the Let's orange campaign implemented by VSF, TH Group, BAC A BANK, and the TH School System in 2025. According to the plan, each female member's family in the two communes will receive a support of 10 million VND for 1 year to develop their family economy. The loans are interest-free and will be operated on a revolving basis annually to support other disadvantaged women in the area.

Speaking at the event, Mr. Cao Minh Quang shared: "This is a highly meaningful source of capital, demonstrating the deep concern of the sponsors for rural women, especially those in difficult circumstances. This fund not only provides women with the conditions to develop livelihoods and increase their income but also contributes to affirming the role of women in family economic development."

"The Cai Doi Vam Commune Women's Union commits to strictly managing and utilizing the capital for practical models suitable to local conditions, such as: net weaving, net mending, vegetable farming, dried fish making, shrimp and crab farming, catering services... continuing to accompany and support members in improving their capacity and voice, contributing to building happy and progressive families," happily stated Ms. Huynh Mong Nghi, Vice Chairwoman of the Cai Doi Vam Commune Women's Union.

Mr. Lu Thanh Nhi - Representative of BAC A BANK Ca Mau Branch also shared: "BAC A BANK always desires to bring practical financial solutions to the community. We believe that when equipped with knowledge and suitable capital, women will have better opportunities to overcome difficulties, contributing to the promotion of local economic development."

Right after the ceremony, VSF also organized a training program themed "Gender equality in relation to family economic development" for 35 women receiving livelihood support and local Women's Union officials.
