Though HCM City has tried to take care of beggars and the homeless for years, many people continue to beg for money, saying they have had goods or cash stolen, or need to find their lost relatives, among other explanations.
The central province of Khanh Hoa’s Nha Trang city will splash out 7.7 billion VND (343,370 USD) on implementing a project to rid the streets of beggars by 2020.
