On December 12, 2024, in Hanoi, Sổ Bán Hàng and CARE Vietnam signed a strategic partnership agreement through the Bừng sáng/Strive Women project, supported by Mastercard’s Inclusive Growth Center. The collaboration aims to support women entrepreneurs in small and micro businesses by enhancing management skills and providing advanced technological solutions to help them grow in the digital era.
Mr. Bùi Hải Long, representative of Sổ Bán Hàng, and Mrs. Trần Thị Minh Nguyệt, representative of CARE in Vietnam, officially signed the agreement on December 12 in Hanoi.
Earlier, in July 2024, Sổ Bán Hàng and CARE launched the training series “Women Entrepreneurs – Conquering the Digital Era” in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi. The program provided valuable knowledge and created networking opportunities for women entrepreneurs. At the end of the training, three outstanding women entrepreneurs were awarded seed funding to grow their businesses.
Building on this success, both parties are committed to long-term cooperation to support women entrepreneurs over the next three years (2025-2027). Key activities will focus on enhancing capacity, developing sustainable businesses, and contributing to economic growth.
At the signing ceremony, Sổ Bán Hàng was represented by Mr. Bùi Hải Long – Product Director and Mr. Bùi Ngọc Giang – Head of Partner Development. CARE Vietnam was represented by Mrs. Vương Thái Nga – Program Director, Mrs. Hà Thị Quỳnh Nga – Business Development Director, and Mrs. Trần Thị Minh Nguyệt – Bừng sáng/Strive Women Project Manager.
Mr. Bùi Hải Long stated, “Over 60% of the more than 600,000 business owners in Sổ Bán Hàng’s customer network are women. With support from CARE, I believe this partnership will help women entrepreneurs in Vietnam access finance and innovative technology, enabling them to run their businesses more effectively.”
Mrs. Trần Thị Minh Nguyệt shared, “Over 20%* of the businesses in Vietnam are women-owned, of which 98% are small and micro enterprises. Supporting women entrepreneurs not only promotes gender equality but also drives economic efficiency. The collaboration with Sổ Bán Hàng will help expand support packages and create a broader impact in the business community.”
