Bac Kan Locals Strive to Support People with Disability

On the evening of December 18 in Vinh Phuc province, the Viet Nam Union of Friendship Organizations (VUFO), the Vietnam - India Friendship Association (VIFA) and the All India Peace and Solidarity Organization (AIPSO) jointly organized the opening ceremony of the 12th Vietnam - India People's Friendship Festival.

Over the past two years, the project "My Right to Education - Phase 2" by ChildFund Vietnam has brought positive changes not only to Hao but also to 232 other children with disabilities in Quang Haa district, Cao Bang province.

After nearly three years of implementation, the project “Prevention of Physical and Mental Violence and Discrimination Against Children, including Children with Disabilities (AVAC)” has achieved many significant outcomes, including the initiatives leading by children which promote the meaningful participation of children in community activities. The project includes three key components implemented by the Research Center for Management and Sustainable Development (MSD), the Vietnam Association for the Protection of Children’s Rights (VACR), and the Institute for Community Development (ACDC). It is funded by Save the Children Hong Kong and coordinated by Save the Children Vietnam.

In an effort to respond to climate change, Save the Children, in collaboration with the People's Committee of Năm Căn District, has implemented the "My Forest Child" project. The initiative includes activities such as mangrove reforestation, climate change education for children, and support for sustainable livelihoods in Nam Can, Ca Mau.
