Consider it…

Tay Ninh Province is one of the poorest in Vietnam. Agriculture is the main source of income in the province but the land is very low in nutrients and is easily eroded and this is one of the main causes of poverty in the area.  Many households do not have access to clean water sources and are lacking the resources, skills and opportunity to change their lives.

Act on it…

ADRA aims to increase livestock incomes for 2,350 people through the establishment of a cow loan program and improved technical skills for livestock husbandry, which will reduce dependency on crops. ADRA also supports the community’s own initiatives for development which include clean water access, environment, health, child and women’s rights protection, and other activities organised through Village development Committees run by the villagers themselves.

Quote: 

     “There was a time that I worried about my future. But now, with ADRA’s support, I have reason to be hopeful about my future, and that of my children’s. ”
