ANH DUONG PROGRAMS

Microcredits and Economic Development for Vulnerable Households

Through our microcredit program, Anh Duong has helped 4,836 poor households escape poverty sustainably. Currently, 2,632 poor households have received microloans from Anh Duong to develop their lives by farming, breeding, fishing or establishing small businesses. For the first year, we offer microloans at 0% interest to allow them to get used to the program. We also organise training sessions to educate them on agricultural techniques and cultivation as well as providing vaccine support for livestock. From the third loan cycle, we apply 0.5% interest on their loan to cover local administrative costs.

Education & Training

Education is at the core of our mission. In rural districts, many poor families are unable to send their children to school, preventing them from achieving a better future and escaping poverty. We provide families with financial support to increase school attendance and minimise dropouts.

Furthermore, knowledge about health and gender issues is limited. Students often do not have a clear understanding of dental hygiene, sexual education or HIV prevention. Anh Duong’s programs focus on empowering schools and communities to lead healthier lives.

ABOUT ANH DUONG

What do we do?

Anh Duong has been implementing projects in poor communities in 16 communes of Can Tho City since 2005. These projects aim to help poor women, children and households improve their living standards.

How do we do it?

We encourage poor communities to improve their capacity to solve their own problems, improve living standards, economy, and prioritize education for women and children. We build solidarity, mutual support among communities and contribute towards sustainable development.

Why is it important?

Now is an exciting time in Vietnam with an increasing number of socio-economic opportunities for many people. However, there are still people in rural communities trapped in poverty. It is our goal to give them the tools they need to leave poverty behind.

How can you help?

Alongside Anh Duong, there are many ways that you can contribute to these communities. You can sponsor a child’s education through a scholarship, support the growth of a local business through a microcredit or buy a handmade product from our social enterprise, Mekong Quilts.
