In 1989, after completing his military service and returning to his hometown, Mr. Nguyen Dinh Hao (An Dong block, Tien Ky town) actively participated in economic development.

Mr. Hao shared that he lives near Dong Chua reservoir and saw that he could raise fish under the dam, so he discussed with his wife and children about bidding on the dam to invest in raising fish and opening a food and beverage service right next to it.

At the same time, the family also borrowed capital from the Social Policy Bank to invest in renovating the garden to grow fruit trees and build a pig breeding farm.

Thanks to his hard work, Mr. Hao's family earns an average of 200 million VND per year from economic development activities. He also guided and helped members of the Veterans Association of Tien Ky town and villagers build 8 economic development models.
