Water Tanks Provided to Ethnic Minority Households in Binh Phuoc

One hundred impoverished ethnic minority households in the southern province of Binh Phuoc were presented with water tanks following the recent prolonged drought in this year’s dry season. The water tanks were delivered on August 3 by the Vietnam Fatherland Front (VFF) chapters of Binh Phuoc and Tay Ninh provinces in collaboration with the People’s Committees of Bu Gia Map and Bu Dang districts. The program had a total cost of VND230 million ($10,400) which was mobilized from the two VFF chapters’ “Ho tro han han” (drought support) fund. The initiative was a significant activity to help drought-affected ethnic minorities in far-flung and remote areas to stabilize their lives. (http://en.vietnamplus.vn/ Aug 4)
