Nghia Lo Trade Union empowers people to access digital technology

On October 30th, the Nghia Lo Ward Trade Union coordinated with VNPT Mien Tay to launch the movement "Supporting village digital transformation" in 2026.

Not only stopping at propaganda activities, the program focuses on directly supporting means and technology equipment for people.

Accordingly, 80 poor households and households in difficult circumstances were supported to install free Internet; 26 phones using 5G SIMs were given to people in residential groups.

Along with that, two computer sets were handed over to Tan An Residential Group and Residential Group 3 to serve activities in the residential area.

Ms. Vuong Thi Anh - Chairwoman of Nghia Lo Ward Trade Union shared that for families who are still in difficulty, having an Internet connection or a smartphone is not simply owning more equipment.

This is also an opportunity to access information, carry out online administrative procedures, contact relatives and use life utilities.

In particular, equipping computers for residential groups contributes to creating more conditions for people to access technology right in their living places, instead of having to travel far or completely rely on the support of others.

Currently, the Nghia Lo Ward Trade Union is continuing to coordinate with VNPT Mien Tay to deploy free Internet installation for poor and near-poor households in 15 communes and wards in the western region of Lao Cai province.

Expanding the area helps many families have more opportunities to access telecommunications infrastructure, gradually participating in activities in the digital environment.

Thereby, contributing to narrowing the digital gap, creating conditions for people in mountainous areas to access technology utilities, gradually building a digital society from the grassroots level with the goal of leaving no one behind.
