World Vision has focused on building 70 irrigational works, sinking 400 water wells and providing local farmers with plants and animals to increase production.

Under the World Vision-funded project, many farmers are now engaged in planting watermelon, mushroom, and clean vegetable and raising bees for honey, from which they can earn profits 2.5 – 10 times more than from planting rice or traditional cereals.

Apart from economic issues, World Vision has also provided free diagnosis and treatment to 9,000 children and poor women and financial support for the care and rehabilitation of 200 disabled children.

From now to 2013, World Vision will annually add US$300,000 to its Hoa Vang project.
