STORIES

“Previously, my family lived mainly on monthly subsidies from the State. Now, with the support of organizations for the convenience store to do business and trade, we are very happy because at least we have a stable job and income to cover our daily life. Currently, on average, my store sells about 1 million VND per day,” Mr. Nai happily said.
