Gift packages, worth 200,000 (9.38 USD) to 500,000 VND (23.45 USD) each, include warm blankets and clothes, rice, noodles and some other basic commodities given by social or charity groups to help poor ethnic minority families to enjoy a warm Tet.
Ha Giang has six out of the country’s 64 poorest districts. The majority of local populations in these districts are ethnic minority people. Severe climate, a lack of farming land and water shortage hinder agricultural production which is the main livelihood of local residents. As a result, the rate of poverty in the districts is as high as more than 50 percent.-VNA
