Ms. Lel said: In 2018, she and her husband moved out to live on their own, and her parents gave her 2 acres of hilly land and a small house. Every day, they worked for hire to earn money to cover their living expenses and send their 2 children to school. Nearly 4 years later, she had enough money to buy a cow worth 13 million VND to raise. Thanks to the support of Regiment 38 with an additional cow, the family was able to escape poverty.

Ya Hoi is a commune in Region III, with ethnic minority households accounting for more than 90%. Recently, military units stationed in the district have mobilized officers and soldiers to support the locality with meaningful projects and tasks.

In 2024, the unit supported more than 310 working days to help the commune dredge sewers and clean up village roads and alleys; at the same time, helped nearly 40 households dig foundations, level houses, build toilets and reinforce the roadbed of Groi village.

“To date, Regiment 38 has supported 11 breeding cows for poor households in the commune. The support of Regiment 38 has created conditions for the commune to maintain and complete a number of criteria for building a new rural commune. To date, the commune has achieved 14/19 new rural criteria,” Mr. Thach said excitedly.
