VNPT helps socio-economic development in Lai Chau
VNPT has granted an aid package of 200 billion VND to assist
the socio-economic development of two poor districts in the northern
mountainous province of Lai Chau.
The Vietnam National Post and Telecoms
Group (VNPT) has granted an aid package of 200 billion VND to assist
the socio-economic development of two poor districts in the northern
mountainous province of Lai Chau.
The move is in response to Government calls for businesses to join in a programme on rapid and sustainable poverty reduction for the country’s poorest 61 districts.
The aid will help Muong Te and Sin Ho districts to build houses for local poor families and beneficiaries of the State’s preferential policies.
It will also be used to develop the infrastructure in education, health care and post-telecoms services in the two districts.
A VNPT official said that on October 3 the group handed over 22 billion VND to build a hostel and 11 billion VND to buy food for Mang and La Hu ethnic minority students from Sin Ho and Muong Te districts.
In addition, the VNPT also presented 100 scholarships worth 100 million VND to poor but excellent students from Lai Chau province and has started to build 24 houses for poor families plus a vocational training centre in Sin Ho district.
Lai Chau is one of the poorest provinces in the country due to its underdeveloped transport and socio-economic infrastructure.
The VNPT’s aid to poor districts in the province is expected to help them encourage economic development, reduce the poverty rate to the area’s average and help local people pull themselves off the province’s list of poor districts by 2020./.
