The Association for the Blind of Nghe An province currently has 66 blind and disabled children, of which 45 are participating in integrated education at all levels or at educational facilities specifically for the visually impaired.

All levels of the association always strive to coordinate with the education sector and families to support children in their studies. Every year, from the provincial association to the grassroots level, they actively mobilize socialization, coordinate with organizations and charitable individuals, and allocate funds to meaningful activities on the occasion of International Children's Day, Mid-Autumn Festival, exchange gifts and scholarships for children and children of association members with a total amount of more than 739 million VND.

Over the past 25 years, the work of blind women and children has always been of interest to all levels of the Nghe An Provincial Association for the Blind. In particular, in recent years, the activities have gradually become more in-depth and effective. Many units have proactively contacted and coordinated with charitable organizations and individuals to organize activities to improve knowledge, skills and support, and care for the material and spiritual lives of female members as well as children.

Thanks to participating in the association's activities, female members as well as children have been able to learn to read and write, learn a trade, borrow money, have jobs, and earn good incomes. Through this, women and children have overcome their inferiority complex, overcome difficulties, rise up in life, and integrate into the community. Many women have built happy families, exercised their rights as mothers, and their children are healthy, growing up, and maturing. Through this, the position and role of women in the family and society have been increasingly raised.

After 25 years of achievements, many women have been awarded Certificates of Merit by all levels, sectors and organizations. They have overcome their inferiority complex, brought life with their own determination, turning the impossible into possible. It is this determination that has contributed to helping the community better understand the abilities of blind people in general and women in particular; at the same time, encouraging people with disabilities to be more confident, overcome difficulties, and strive to integrate into the community.

In the coming time, the Association of the Blind in Nghe An province will continue to direct the grassroots association to pay attention and create all conditions for the Women and Children's Working Committee to operate. Encourage women to actively participate in association activities, learn to read and write, learn a trade... to improve their qualities, qualifications, and working capacity, to meet the requirements of the association's development in the new period. Maintain and develop the "For Blind Women and Children" Fund to help women in difficult circumstances with interest-free loans to develop their family economy.

On this occasion, the Association of the Blind of Nghe An province decided to award 5 groups and 6 individuals with outstanding achievements in recent years.
