STORY OF MR. CA VAN THU

Project: Agro-biodiversity conservation and development for poor communities in response to climate change, Son La Province.

Ultimate goal: Food security for ethnic minority groups in upland areas in Son La province will be ensured.

Donors: Bread for the World and Manos Unidas.

”After a long time of raising the chickens, and then selling them to the market, I am very happy when I can earn a large amount of money from them. One of my record income from selling was 8-9 million dong” 

Mr. Thu is from Nguong, one of the 8 villages dealing with high rates of poverty in Son La. He lives in a household of six people, including his parents, his wife, and his two kids. In order to continue supporting his family, Mr. Thu wanted to decide on the most effective means to increase his household income. At first, his plan was to raise pigs but realized their selling price was quite low. As a result, he decided to focus on raising chickens. 

Currently, Mr. Thu has nearly 100 chickens. However, before joining SRD’s project in 2018, he only had about 30 to 50 chickens. A variety of factors were preventing him from increasing his chicken population. Not only did he not have enough money or experience to raise this many chickens before, he also found that many of his chickens were getting diseases.

SRD implemented trainings that supports farmers to improve their skills and quality of chicken raising as a part of the project. The trainings introduced farmers on how to to carefully calculate the types of expenses when they want to raise chickens, how to protect their chickens by keeping them in their cages when the weather is cold or rainy, and how to vaccinate them to prevent diseases. 

“I have learned a lot from the SRD project. Firstly, I learned how to give vaccine for chickens to prevent them from getting diseases. Besides that, I learned how to pick chickens to increase the population. These helped to increase my knowledge about raising chickens effectively”

While Mr. Thu has significantly improved his knowledge and abilities, he has also increased his income. 

“After a long time of raising the chickens, and then selling them to the market, I am very happy when I can earn a large amount of money from them. One of my record income from selling was 8-9 million dong”.

Our goal is that when farmers, like Mr. Thu, join our trainings, they can share their knowledge, in order to empower local communities to sustainably manage their livelihoods for the long term. Through this, we also hope that more families will be able to increase their income, ensure food security, and improve their livelihoods.
