German foundation helps build rural infrastructure in Soc Trang
Germany’s Schmitz Stiffung Foundation has agreed to fund VND6.5 billion (US$305,500) for the construction of five bridges and four schools in the southern province of Soc Trang.
A 27-metre bridge has just been completed in My Phuoc commune, My Tu district, benefiting 300 residents living in the area. The bridge cost VND420 million to build, to which Schmitz Stiffung Foundation provided VND230 million.
Work on the construction of another bridge began in late September in My Tu commune, My Tu district. The 18-metre reinforced concrete bridge has an investment of VND400 million (US$18,800), with VND250 million coming from the German foundation.
Three schools and two bridges funded by the foundation are expected to be put into operation this month, while the remaining facilities are scheduled to be completed in December.
