A clean water supply project initiated by the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) has paid off in the northern mountainous province of Yen Bai.


The US$62,500 project to provide water for 12 primary and junior secondary schools in Yen Bai's Van Chan, Van Yen and Tran Yen districts was implemented by the provincial Centre for Rural Water Supply and Environment Sanitation.


Nguyen Thi Oanh, head of the Ho Chi Minh Pioneer League at An Thinh Primary School, who is in charge of training children to use clean water and practise sanitation, said that parents of students, with Tay and Nung ethnic minorities accounting for 20 percent of them, were happy with the project as water is limited in the commune.


The teacher, who has been working at the school for 10 years, said that the project helped students learn the importance of sanitation.
