Vietnam introduces white cane program to support blind people.
"Priority will be given to the most vulnerable groups among the blind", said MPI Minister Nguyen Chi Dung at the launch ceremony on December 5.
Hanoi (VNA) - The Ministry of Planning and Investment (MPI) on December 5 launched an initiative aiming to provide one million white canes for the blind and visually-impaired people in Vietnam.
He added that the white canes will be provided to the blind along with instructions on how to use the device safely to support their mobility. Media campaigns will also be held to raise public awareness.
National Assembly Vice Chairwoman Tong Thi Phong said the program is among various measures taken by the Vietnamese government so that no-one, especially those with disabilities, is left behind in the process of social development.
Vietnam currently has 24 million people part of vulnerable groups, with 6 million people with disabilities, including 3 million blind and visually impaired people.
Minister Dung said his ministry will incorporate the desires and wishes of people with disabilities into the process of policy consultation and formulation, placing people at the centre of social development.
After the ceremony, more than 10,000 white sticks will be delivered to the blind. Minister Nguyen Chi Dung hopes that in the near future, the white stick initiative for the blind will be replicated and will attract enough resources so that all visually impaired people can be given sticks.
Vun Art is one of three units invited by the Ministry of Planning and Investment to share their operation model at the launching ceremony. VUN Art was honored to award grafted silk pictures to Ms. Tong Thi Phong, Politburo member & Standing Vice Chairman of the National Assembly, and Mr. Nguyen Chi Dung, Member of the Party Central Committee & Minister of Planning and Investment.
After the launch of the initiative, a business contacted Vun Art to consider ordering cloth bags as gifts.
