The “clean house, nice garden” model has been implemented in Trung Hoa Commune since June 2019. After nearly one year of implementation, 21 households have registered to the plan, with four of them having achieved the “clean house with nice garden” title.

The criteria set for the “Clean house” category include having a clean house, kitchen and alley, aiming to raise the households’ awareness of arranging furnishings and appliances neatly and keeping the village’s road and their surrounding areas clean. In addition, they are also encouraged to keep the surrounding landscapes and environment green, clean, and beautiful.

Regarding the “Nice garden” category, households are encouraged to grow vegetables to serve their family or the market while building affordable and effective plans for their gardens and farms.

In order to ensure the effectiveness of the “Clean house, nice garden” model, the communal authorities have developed a plan to implement to model in all hamlets and assigned staff to provide guidance and supervise the project’s progress. The commune has conducted regular checks and grant recognition for piloting households with the aim of encouraging further participation from locals.

The “Clean house, nice garden” model in Trung Hoa Commune has created a positive change in local people’s awareness and actions, thus contributing to realising the locality’s socio-economic development goals.
