Samsung Asia's largest social program gave US$90,250 Thursday for two Vietnamese projects to assist needy young people with disabilities.
The projects are the Center of Printing Assistance and Library of Floating Words set up by the Ho Chi Minh City-based Bung Sang, a center for sightless people, and Informatics Education for the Deaf by the Hy Vong no. 1 School for Deaf.
They are among the projects funded in Australia and six Asia Southeast countries under the Samsung Digital Hope 2006 launched in August.
The program, called Technology Gives Wings to Dreams, hopes to provide a better life for impoverished youths and disabled people, and is supported by the Ho Chi Minh Central Youth Union and Vietnam Information Technology Association.
The criteria to receive funding are a project’s overall benefits, creativity and innovation, effects on youth and the disabled, and duration.
Samsung Digital Hope will provide $600,000 this year, 20 percent more than last year.
Since its inception in 2003 the program has provided over $2.25 million.
