Although not far from the busy national highway from Lao Cai to Sa Pa, the national grid has long been a dream for the people of Sin Chai village. To bring electricity to serve the people before the New Year, Sa Pa electricity officials and workers have raced against time to complete the village's electricity system. Happiness exploded when the first lights in the village were lit, warming up the roofs shrouded in mist, helping to dispel the cold of the mountainous winter.
“Previously, my family and some neighboring households shared a power line. The weak power source was only enough to light one light bulb, the house was always dark, and the children and grandchildren had a hard time studying. My family had a small corn husking machine to serve the livestock, but every time we used it, we had to ask other households to temporarily stop cooking or watching TV because the power source was too weak. Now that the national grid has arrived, the people are very excited,” said Mr. Chao Chin Va, Sin Chai village.
With the national grid coming to the village, people's daily life will also become more convenient. Many households have purchased televisions, rice cookers and other household appliances to serve their daily lives. In the evenings, after a hard day's work, people can gather around the TV, watch entertainment programs, update news or learn economic models from other localities. Children in the village now have enough light to study, no longer having to squint under the weak light from the electricity and water source like before.
“Although our village is not far from the center, the terrain is difficult, so the people are at a disadvantage. Previously, some households used low-voltage electricity for common use, but it was not safe and the electricity was very weak. Now that there is national grid electricity, the people are very happy, hoping that more households will escape poverty in the new year,” added Mr. Chao Lao U, Head of Sin Chai village.
Sin Chai village is located precariously on the mountainside, making the construction of the power line a big challenge. The transportation of equipment, electric poles, wires and necessary materials to the village must be done entirely by human power on many sections of the road because machines cannot access it. In addition, funding and human resources are also a difficult problem. Investing in bringing electricity to highland villages like Sin Chai requires a large cost while the local economic conditions are still limited.
However, with the determination of the electricity industry and the support of the government, the project was completed right before the New Year. To help the people enjoy the joy, Sa Pa Electricity also supported the poor households in the village with all electrical equipment and instructed them on how to use electricity economically and safely.
The cold winter days in Sin Chai this year have become warmer not only thanks to the electric lights but also because of the people's belief in a bright future. Life here will gradually improve, opening up many opportunities for economic development and improving the material and spiritual life of the people of all ethnic groups in the village.
Strengthening cooperation, ensuring electricity supply to remote areas and ethnic minority areas
