US Ambassador David Shear on April 17 officially introduced a new US-supported programme that will provide a comprehensive range of services benefiting roughly 10,000 Vietnamese people with disabilities.
The US Agency for International Development (USAID) will provide vocational training and support to give children with disabilities equal access to education as well as other services.
The 9-million-USD programme will also assist the disable with corrective surgeries, physical therapy, assistive devices, speech therapy, and occupational therapy.
An important aspect of the programme is to build a case management system that will empower people with disabilities to access improved specialised services.
Under the new programme, USAID and its implementing partners, Disability Advocates, Inc. (DAI) and Vietnam Assistance for the Handicapped (VNAH), will work with the People's Committee, Disability Steering Committee, and constituent government departments in Binh Dinh, Danang, Dong Nai and other regions.-VNA
