The beneficiaries of this project is also women, including women with disabilities. They are the ones who have been suffering a lot from the COVID pandemic. Coming to this project, the selected women will be engaged in all steps of the implementation process, including collection of the garbage of coconut shells, cleaning, upcycling them into different products and even selling to the market. Through this project, we want to create more opportunities for more disadvantage women in Central Vietnam to be able to continue working, helping them to solve the basic financial problems due to Covid pandemic.

Lying in the tropical monsoon area of the North West Pacific, Vietnam is one of the most disaster-prone countries in the world. It is affected by many kinds of natural disasters such as floods, storms, whirlwinds, flash floods, coastline erosion, droughts and landslides. Disasters in Vietnam cause grave impacts to economic sectors, increase poverty, adversely impact individual households and the community as large, cause environmental degradation, and induce serious health problems. Together with relevant stakeholders, CORMIS has been trying to provide technical assistance to local authorities at different at risk provinces, helping them to prepare well to be able to response to natural disasters without much impacts and can recover faster after disasters. Importantly, through our support, we always try to promote the meaningful contribution of ALL in developing resilience towards disasters.

The WHO estimates that about 5000 people commit suicide every year in Vietnam and around 3.564.000 people are suffering from mental disorders, accounting for 4% of the whole population. Shocking data also reveals the extremely stressful reality faced by a particularly vulnerable population, people with disabilities. The Care Ability Program - Building Resiliency through Self and Collective Care has been implemented to contribute in a meaningful way to reduce the stress and improve the quality of life of community, especially the most vulnerable ones including people with disabilities. Our main supports include: provide TRE services for different groups following their needs, including the marginalized people (online & in person); provide training of community TRE facilitators who will become change agents and promote the mental health at community level, provide global certificate trainings for people who want to get specialized trainings... All these activities will be done in collaboration with the trainer team in the Asia region.

Capacity building for Disabled People Organizations, Clubs of Women with disabilities to help them to be able to work independently and effectively.

So, it will add their value and improve their active role in contributing to local sustainable development. Our topics of training include: meeting facilitation skill, operation strategy development and implementation, project management, club management, communication campaign, inclusive first aids, English etc…The needs of training will be consulted directly with the Disabled People Organizations before they are implemented to ensure they meet the requirements and solve the problems of Disabled People Organization. Besides the trainings, we have also tried to provide working equipment so that they can apply the knowledge learnt in their daily work
