On Feb 24, VNHelp’s Executive Director, Thu Do, visited Vinh Phuc Province to check out the VNHelp’s micro-finance project in Hop Hoa Village, Tam Duong District. In the last five years, this project lends money to women who have a good investment plan and have demonstrated the ability to execute their plan to generate incomes. The loan amounts range from $100 to $500. During the visit, Thu Do met with a group of borrowers and listened to their stories. She also visited the candidates for the Trồng Gấc Program in An Hoa and Dao Tu villages. Trồng Gấc Program is planned to begin this Spring (March-April 2016) for the first harvest in October -November 2016.

To help students acquire skills that will help them succeed in the workforce, VNHELP funds the vocational program in motorbike repairing. Additionally, we assist students with food and board while they are in training. It’s a vocational training, job placement and life skills program all wrapped into one.
