To carry out the work of caring for, supporting ethnic minority youth in the district to stabilize and develop the economy, Youth Union’s Standing Committee of Phu Giao district have deployed many programs and specific solutions.

Giving support to ethnic and religious young persons.

Caring for, supporting, and accompanying ethnic minority youth and religious groups is one of the important tasks that has always been of concern to Phu Giao youth for many years. Recently, Standing Committee of Youth Union and Youth Federation of Phu Giao district visited to encourage and give livelihood support to Son Hieu, a Khmer ethnic youth in Tam Lap commune. Son Hieu is a typical union member of Tam Lap commune. In recent times, he has actively participated in local youth union activities. While working at a milk tea and snack shop, Hieu also dreamed of one day having a startup capital and owning a shop himself.

Hieu said: "I dream of opening a shop that sells drinks and lunch, so rubber-tapping workers have a place to stop and rest while waiting for the latex to drain." However, due to his difficult family circumstance, Hieu did not have the initial capital to start a business. Understanding this, the District Youth Union and Youth Federation visited to encourage and present a startup capital of 5 million VND to Hieu. With this support, Hieu bought some necessary items to open a shop, such as: rice cooker, fan, hammock, juicer, gas stove, pot set, cups and chopsticks... Although this amount was not much, it has created motivation for Hieu to overcome difficulties and improve his family's income.

Not only taking care of ethnic minority youth, the District Youth Union and Youth Federation also do activities to accompany young religious followers in the district to stabilize and develop their lives. Accordingly, this year, the District Youth Union and Youth Federation awarded 20 durian seedlings and fertilizer with a total value of 4 million VND to Pham Thanh Duc, Head of Youth association branch of Quarter 4, Phuoc Vinh Town. Duc is a young religious believer in Phuoc Vinh town that has a difficult circumstance. Giving livelihoods to ethnic minority and religious youth having difficult circumstances in the district aims to care for and support economic development for young people; At the same time, it shows companionship with religious youth and ethnic minority youth in labor and economic development.
