Gánh Mưu Sinh initiative uses Google Maps to support street vendors

A viral community initiative known as ‘Gánh Mưu Sinh’ is gaining popularity on Google Maps in Ho Chi Minh City. The project involves marking the locations of street vendors and elderly individuals struggling to make a living on digital maps.

By searching for the term ‘Gánh Mưu Sinh’ on Google Maps, users can find various small-scale vendors, such as fruit stalls, traditional snack sellers, and small food carts, throughout the city. This allows passersby and the community to easily locate and support these vendors, providing them with more consistent customers beyond those who happen to walk by their specific locations.
