PANO - Vinh Phuc province is now home to more than 63,800 people with disabilities. Unfortunately, those ill-fated people are members of nearly 1,840 poor households and 3,312 quasi-poor households in the locality.

Over the past years, the provincial Patronage Society for People with Disabilities and Orphans has successfully conducted a number of programs and projects on vocational training and livelihood assistance to help them better their lives.

In the 2011-2015 period, 127 out of 538 poor households of people with disabilities, which received financial assistance to buy breeding cattle, are now out of poverty. Hundreds of people with disabilities were provided with vocational training and jobs with stable incomes.

Here are some images of the successful projects for people with disabilities, taken by the People’s Army Newspaper’s reporter Trung Hieu.
