New steps at 60: A journey to regain confidence for a woman affected by a landmine accident

After more than four decades living with the consequences of a landmine accident, Ms. Dong can now feel the changes in every step she takes. These steps not only make it easier for her to move around, but also restore her confidence and bring a sense of renewed support after many years of quiet endurance.

It's never too late to begin

“In the past, I often fell when I had to carry water from the outdoor water tank to the bathroom. Ever since the project supports the family to modify an elevated water storage tank and a shower, I have lived more conveniently and no longer fall. I also cook more often for my parents than before, as the kitchen counter has been lowered to a comfortable height level, so I don't need to get on the chair whenever I cook anymore.”

Steps of hope

“He used to just crawl and get fed by other people. That's been the case for 16 years. But the project has changed him a lot. Now Hai knows how to feed himself, using a walker to move. I'm very happy!”

Meetings that spark change

For a long time, Mr. Ha Van Tien lived a withdrawn life within his small home. Failures in livestock farming, along with feelings of inferiority about his disability gradually caused him to lose confidence in himself and distance himself from those around him. But since participating in the home-based independent living intervention under Inclusion 1 Project – a component implemented by ACDC, small changes in his daily routine have helped him gradually regain motivation and open a new direction for his life.

Look at these chickens - They make me so happy

This simple remark by Ms. Truong Thi Dieu Thuy, as she spoke about the chickens in her backyard, reflects the positive changes in her life. Behind that joy is a quiet but meaningful journey of transformation, beginning with home-based healthcare support under Inclusion 1 Project – a component implemented by ACDC. Through this support, she and her family were guided on how to care for her health and gradually regain familiar daily routines.

After the Storm

Once every year, a rainy and stormy season comes, and the days of October 2020 were probably unforgettable for people in the central region in general and those in Quang Ngai Province in particular. The passing of a historic storm caused heavy damage to the people here.

Flowers Bloom on Barren Land

"I have always been aware of the need to strive forward, but it was only when I joined ACDC’s project that I truly understood I have the right to live freely and the full ability to take control of my own life. It was only then that I dared to think and dared to act."

When There Is Faith

“I believe that this is a big turning point. The training sessions on independent living and disability inclusion have helped me realize that supporting persons with disabilities goes beyond providing material support. It is also about creating conditions for them to live independently and integrate into the community.”
