It has been almost six months since the "Towards a sustainable livelihood of the poor single women-headed household by applying climate samrt agriculture approach in Tĩnh Gia district, Thanh Hóa Province" ended, but the activities of the Farmer Interest Groups (FIGs), such as the SRI cultivation groups, poultry farming groups, VSLA group are maintained regularly. Besides, thanks to the loans from VSLA, Ninh Hai Commune Women's Union has actively sought and developed new models for women such as chicken egg incubator model and handmade bamboo lantern model for additional income. This is one of the most obvious demonstrations of positive change in the single women-headed household who used to be always shy and unconfident. At the same time, it shows a further step of the Commune Women's Union in supporting single women.
