Ms. Huynh Thi Be Hien in Quarter 1, Vo Xu town, Duc Linh district, Binh Thuan province, is a
difficult household participating in the Thien Chi center's loan program and is considered a poor household in the locality. Currently, there are 7 people in the family, 2 couples and 5 children, the oldest child is a college graduate and is looking for a job, the younger step-brother is a first-year foreign affairs college student, and the remaining 3 children are in high school.
They only have 2 acres of rice fields and the yield in recent crops has not been high. The family has a barn raising 2 black pigs. In the family, only the husband is the main worker. Every day he works as a construction assistant, but the job is not regular, he works about 15 days a month. As for Ms. Be, she had disc surgery 4 years ago and is unable to do heavy work. She is just a housewife and receives lotus seeds to work with, but this season is out of stock so there is no lotus to make. Current family income is 680,000 VND/person/month.
The family was in a difficult situation and was short on expenses, so the group decided to support Vo Thi Thanh Lam with a monthly scholarship of 300,000 VND/month so she could go to school like other students. For 2 consecutive years, the family received 5,400,000 VND to cover tuition fees to buy books and school supplies. At the end of the school year, all of their children achieved excellent results, which is also the motivation for Ms. Be and her husband to work hard every day.
