Children with disabilities (CWDs) in Vietnam have limited access to quality education and health care in mainstream schools. This lack of access is in violation of the Convention of the Rights of the Child, which Vietnam ratified in 1990.

To solve this issue, in the last four years, VNHIP in collaboration with Reseach Center for Inclusion, Medipeace and Danang Supporting Center for Inclusive Education has supported main primary and pre- schools in various districts of Quang Nam province including Nam Giang, Dien Ban, Hiep Duc, Tien Phuoc, Tam Ky and Nui Thanh.
