1.Vui’s House – “Improving income and skills of 180 disabled in Ho Chi Minh City”.
Nowadays, the monthly income of disabled workers is about 2.5 million VND. However, the statistics are unstable due to the fact that their products are not always qualified enough for sale. In some months, no product leaves the community centers’ shelves, which creates an economic burden for them, and sometimes even to close and move the disabled workers to other centers. Vui’s House intends to address the problems of those centers comprehensively. The project starts from monitoring the market and evaluating the products to innovating the quality as well as improving skills for the disabled workers and advertising the products.

Children with schizophrenia, autism spectrum disorder, hearing impairments, or language disorder often have latent difficulties and these can occur early in childhood. In cases that the children are detected early and supported with the right methods, they will achieve maximum development. If the community, parents and caregivers are aware of the unusual signs of one child’s communication, social interaction, learning skills development history, the difficulties can be timely controlled and able to receive intervention as well as support.
6. Self-Help – “Microcredit Self Help”.
Most social projects tend to solve short-term problems through financing money to buy drugs, supporting tuition fees and part of the capital for production. Meanwhile, there are not many projects that aim to create community self-command through an integrated approach from productive resources support, capacity enhancement, and outputs creation. In fact, the lack of capital and unstable output markets are the two main reasons leading to unsustainable production models for disabled people. Through applying the microcredit model of Dr. Muhammad Yunus, lending to the borrowers at the rate 6.5% per year (priority for women) that can help poor families get access to capital and focus on production.
