Despite the busy end of the year, for nearly a month now, the Provincial Youth Union officials have still focused on activities to help people sustainably reduce poverty. Most recently, Secretary of the Provincial Youth Union Tran Thi Thu and other provincial youth union officials visited the mountainous district of Huong Hoa to learn about youth economic development models and exchange experiences on sustainable poverty reduction. During the trip, the delegation presented many gifts to encourage economic development model owners and ethnic and religious youth who have made many contributions to the youth union movement.
Previously, the Provincial Youth Union also coordinated with the Vietnam Youth Support Center to support 105 poor, near-poor, and newly escaped-poverty households in Dakrong district with 25 breeding cows; 9,800 breeding chickens; 50,000 cinnamon seedlings; food, veterinary medicine, fertilizers... with a total cost of nearly 1.5 billion VND. Many training activities to transfer scientific and technical advances were also coordinated by the Provincial Youth Union to help change the way of thinking and working for people in difficult areas.
The recent series of activities is just one of the vivid evidences demonstrating the role of the Youth Union at all levels in implementing the national target program for sustainable poverty reduction. In recent times, Youth Union officials in the province have actively mobilized resources, coordinated with central agencies and relevant departments, branches and sectors to implement the contents of the national target program.
In particular, the activities that are focused on are: training on transferring scientific and technical advances; supporting plants, breeds, fertilizers, animal feed; donating machinery and equipment; solving difficulties in capital sources... In the process of organizing these activities, the union cadres always pay attention to propaganda, mobilization, helping people, especially young people, to further raise their determination to reduce poverty.
In order to help more and more people escape poverty, the provincial Youth Union at all levels focuses on career counseling, orientation, and job referrals. This is identified as a regular task that needs to be widely deployed in Youth Union bases, especially in rural and mountainous areas.
Since the beginning of 2023, the entire union has organized 85 career guidance activities and 65 job counseling and referral activities for 14,500 union members, youth, and demobilized soldiers. Under the direction of the Provincial Youth Union Standing Committee, school unions have actively promoted the implementation of the "Youth Entrepreneurship" program.
Many start-up and career clubs have been established in schools, contributing to career orientation for young people. The encouraging result is that since the beginning of the year, nearly 6,900 union members and young people in the province have been introduced to new jobs by union chapters at all levels, thereby creating conditions for them to rise up and escape poverty sustainably.
To achieve the goal of poverty reduction, the Youth Union at all levels has identified the need to raise awareness and capacity of the people, including union members and young people, on entrepreneurship and career development. Many training courses, forums, and competitions related to this field have been organized by the Youth Union at all levels. Youth Union officials have stepped up guidance for young people to build many models of farms, family farms, and household economies...
Not stopping there, economic youth clubs, economic development cooperatives have been born from the encouragement, motivation and facilitation of the Youth Union at all levels. Up to now, the whole province has 85 economic development clubs and cooperatives, 490 economic youth models with an income of over 100 million VND/year.
Not stopping there, the Provincial Youth Union has built a network of Quang Tri youth startups and operated an online channel to introduce and support the consumption of products of young people in the province. The Quang Tri youth startup network has now connected more than 1,200 members.
Understanding the role and importance of capital in economic development, the Youth Union at all levels has implemented many solutions to support union members and young people. The Provincial Youth Union and the Provincial Social Policy Bank soon issued regulations to coordinate and support young people in localities to access preferential loans to create jobs and develop the economy.
It is known that by the end of October 2023, the total outstanding loan balance of the provincial Social Policy Bank through the Youth Union channel was 535 billion VND. The growth in outstanding loans reached 23%. The Youth Union at all levels also guided the youth to access 18 loan projects under the 120 program through the Central Youth Union channel with a total outstanding loan balance of 1.1 billion VND.
Not only focusing on supporting young people, in recent times, the Youth Union at all levels has also linked the national target program for sustainable poverty reduction with the emulation movement "For the poor - No one is left behind". The mobilization to support the "For the poor" Fund has been effectively implemented by the Youth Union at all levels.
In supporting the poor, the Provincial Youth Union aims at sustainable poverty reduction, focusing on poor households. On that basis, the Youth Union officials organize information and propaganda for the people, union members and youth about the goal of sustainable poverty reduction in conjunction with patriotic emulation campaigns and movements.
From the mobilization of the Youth Union at all levels, young people in the province have actively implemented the national target program for sustainable poverty reduction and the emulation movement "For the poor - No one is left behind". Everyone upholds the spirit: "Enrich yourself, enrich your homeland, enrich yourself to help the poor".
In particular, with the determination of "No one is left behind", many activities for people in disadvantaged areas have been organized by the Youth Union at all levels such as: "Winter Volunteer - Spring Volunteer"; "Youth Month"; "Summer Youth Volunteer Campaign"; "Journey of Young Doctors following Uncle Ho's teachings to volunteer for community health"...
From the beginning of 2023 to now, the Youth Union at all levels has examined and given free medicine to about 5,500 people; awarded more than 8,900 scholarships and gifts to policy beneficiaries and people in difficult circumstances with a total value of nearly 4 billion VND; built 21 new houses of charity, gratitude and happy houses; repaired 14 houses for families with revolutionary contributions, lonely former youth volunteers...
Through these meaningful activities, the image of the green volunteer shirt leaves a beautiful impression in people's hearts.
