Thua Thien-Hue (VNA) – The central province of Thua Thien- Hue on November 10 received an US-funded project to support local disabled people for the 2015-2018 period.

The project will use a non-refundable aid of 250,000 USD from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) via the Action for the Community Development Centre (ACDC).

The three-year initiative aims to enhance policy and legal assistance for locals with disabilities and propose plans for their access to traffic routes. 

Earlier, the Veterans Vietnam Restoration Project (VVRP- US) had provided 200 million VND (9,100 USD) for the province to build infrastructure for Phong Xuan kindergarten in Phong Dien district. The work aims to better local children’s learning activities.

Since August 2015, the English Through Academics, Athletics and the Arts Abroad (ETA4) has cooperated with the Hue Star high school to open free English classes for children in the province.-VNA
