“The light of Vietnam perseverance” program honors outstanding disabled youth

The "Light of Vietnam Perseverance" program 2026 honored 26 outstanding young individuals with disabilities for their resilience and community contributions. The Vietnam Youth Federation Central Committee, in coordination with the Vietnam Association of Youth with Disabilities, held an awards ceremony on September 18 to recognize these exemplary individuals.

Among the recipients is Do Nam Khanh, a visually impaired student who volunteers to teach Braille and has won multiple awards in national competitions. Ma Thi Phuong, a software developer, won first prize at the 3rd National IT Competition for the Blind for her work on software that helps visually impaired users navigate Zalo on desktop computers.

The program also awarded VND50 million (approximately US$2,000) seed grants to four outstanding youth-led startup projects. The initiative aims to foster inclusion, respect, and equal opportunity, empowering disabled youth to realize their potential and contribute meaningfully to society.
