This was an immense asset for his family and the other poor households benefiting from this livelihood model. He promised to take good care of and raise these cows to develop the herd as quickly and effectively as possible to increase sustainable income for his family, aiming to escape poverty and reduce the burden on the locality. With cows to develop their livelihoods, his family and many other poor households there would no longer rely on clearing forests and burning fields to grow crops, contributing to forest protection and protecting the water sources of the area.

On behalf of the local government, Mr. Ho Cao Quy - District Committee Member, Chairman of the People's Committee of Tra Doc Commune, stated: "This is timely encouragement and sharing from enterprises, particularly Song Tranh Hydropower Company. The implementation of social welfare activities in Tra Doc Commune, specifically, and the districts of Bac Tra My District, in general, by Song Tranh Hydropower Company over the past period has contributed to the local effort to eliminate poverty. Notably, this cow support initiative has further instilled confidence in the local people, and I believe this is a well-founded model that will surely be effective, following the direction of the People's Committee of Quang Nam Province regarding supporting livelihood models for people in the Hydropower Reservoir area. Song Tranh Hydropower Company, along with the locality, has been gradually eliminating temporary housing and reducing poverty sustainably in Tra Doc Commune."
