Nung ethnic minority people account for 90 percent of Duong Son’s population with a large number of households remaining very poor.

Nong Van Ky, Chairman of the Na Ri district People’s Committee said his district has seen many changes thanks to great support and assistance from the Party and State and international organizations. A number of projects in the field of safe water, environmental sanitation, reproductive healthcare and education are paying off to help improve the local people’s living conditions.

Beborah Leaver, Director of the ChildFund Organisation in Vietnam, said ChildFund will continue to carry out other programmes to help ethnic minority people develop economy and improve their spiritual and materials life.

In 2008, CHildFund focused on 7 remote communes in Na Ri districts.
