On the November 10 and 11, 2020, "Tiep Suc Nha Nong" presented the first batch of loans to farmers living in An Hiep and An Binh Tay communes, Ba Tri district, Ben Tre Province. At the ceremony, the programme also awarded valuable scholarships to encourage 40 academically successful students of Vinh Long Province, who are the children of the beneficiaries of “Tiep Suc Nha Nong 2018 – 2020”.

During the ceremony, the beneficiaries listened to successful farmers of previous years.

Ms. Le Hong Hon (An Loi, Binh Tay, Ben Tre), a woman who received funding from the programme this year said: “My husband died years ago, so I have been raising my kid alone. During the last rainy season, our house was badly affected and I had to send our belongings to our parents’ to avoid damage. GREENFEED’s support came just at the right time when my family needed it the most. Thanks to the funding, now I’m able to have my own husbandry besides working at the Women’s Union to support other women in our locality.”
