The Vietnamese subsidiaries of CARE International, a leading humanitarian organization fighting global poverty, will launch a project worth VND23 billion ($1 million) on advanced economic empowerment for women of ethnic minority in Vietnam, funded by the Canadian government, local media said. The People’s Committee in northern mountainous Ha Giang province and Care International Vietnam on March 24 signed a partnership agreement in 2021-2026 on the project. The project will be implemented in six communes of Quang Binh district. Its major components include improving the possibility of earning income of poor ethnic minority women via agriculture and non-agriculture production, assisting them in saving and borrowing capital for economic development, improving business capacity of women-led businesses and cooperatives, offering support to those in remote and mountainous areas who have limited access to modern technology and lack land for production.
