Viêt Nam Plus has had up to 1000 women's groups who held weekly meetings to deposit their savings, borrow and reimburse their credits. When bank loans became more accessible, many groups have stopped functioning.
In Dúc Linh (Bình Thuân), in several communes hundreds of groups have
decided to continue, and every week they continue to meet to exchange
experiences, to save together and share their group capital between
them.
