For many years, residents of Xuan Quang 1 commune have faced severe water shortages every dry season. Now, they are extremely delighted as Binh Minh Plastic Joint Stock Company, in collaboration with local authorities, volunteer youth, and various organizations, has brought clean water flowing directly from the source to households.
Bringing clean water to arid regions
Every dry season, the lives of people in Xuan Quang 1 commune (Dong Xuan District, Phu Yen Province) are challenged by the lack of water for daily use. Daily, residents must travel long and rugged paths to find water. Local water supply infrastructure is almost nonexistent, forcing people to rely on rainwater available for only about three months each year. During the remaining months, they face severe drought, causing constant worry and insecurity. With the completion of the gravity-fed water supply system, residents of Xuan Quang 1 can now live with more peace of mind.

The ceremony was attended by Mr. Asada Boonsrirat, Deputy General Director and representative of Phuong Hoang Distributor; Mr. Nguyen Van Thoi, Permanent Deputy Secretary of the District Party Committee, Chairman of the People’s Council of Dong Xuan District; Mr. Dang Van Trong, Deputy Secretary and Chairman of the People’s Committee of Dong Xuan District; Mr. Vo Duy Kha, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Youth Union; representatives from the Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology and Education; as well as local authorities and numerous residents of Xuan Quang.

The project was implemented in two challenging but meaningful phases. Phase one, starting on July 22, successfully installed the gravity-fed water system from Vuc Tron to Ky Lo and Suoi Coi 1 villages, opening a new chapter in the residents’ lives. Phase two, on September 7, extended the system to Suoi Coi 2 village, marking a project that brings positive and sustainable change to the entire Xuan Quang 1 commune.
With a total length of over 8,000 meters of Binh Minh pipes and fittings and an investment of approximately 1 billion VND, the project has transformed the local infrastructure. Binh Minh Plastic contributed over 600 million VND, while local authorities mobilized an additional 400 million VND from social resources.
The program was carried out over two months with active participation from the Phu Yen Provincial Military Command, more than 200 volunteer students from Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology and Education, and Binh Minh Plastic employees contributing a day of work alongside local residents to install the water pipeline.

Coordinated collaboration accelerated progress and ensured the quality of the project, turning the dream of Xuan Quang 1 residents into reality.

The indescribable joy of Xuan Quang 1 residents is the most meaningful result achieved by the project. Mr. Nguyen So, a resident of Suoi Coi 1 village, emotionally shared: "We are very happy. This is precious because water is like blood in our bodies, it is indispensable. We are extremely grateful. Thanks to the attention of local authorities, Binh Minh Plastic, and volunteer youth, we no longer worry about drought. Groundwater here is very scarce, so during dry seasons, we faced severe water difficulties. We had to fetch water from far away rivers and streams. It was extremely hard. Now that water has arrived, we are all very joyful."
Efforts to share with the community
These meaningful activities are part of the "Cherish Water, Love the Future" program by Binh Minh Plastic, launched in 2023, bringing clean water to thousands of households. By mid-2024, Binh Minh Plastic had supported over 1,357 families with more than 27,000 meters of PVC-U pipes and 9,700 meters of HDPE pipes. These figures are not just achievements but symbolize Binh Minh Plastic’s dedication and continuous effort to improve community living standards.
