The project also investigates areas of Laos that may still have potential dioxin contamination from the use of military herbicides in Laos during the American war. The project surveyed 126 villages in 5 districts of Salavan and Savannakhet provinces of Laos along the former Ho Chi Minh Trail area. It raised awareness in villages and district government offices about the potential health and environmental impacts of use of dioxin contaminated herbicides during the American war in Laos and the types of birth defects and disabilities the project could help address. Over 500 children and adults under the age of 55 with congenital malformations and birth defects were identified. Due to COVID and waiting for renewed government approval from authorities in the Lao PDR, WLP was not able to provide as much direct assistance to those with disabilities this year. However, 6 youths with disabilities received medicines or examinations by medical specialists. 11 youths and young adults received monthly support to travel from their village to the Samoi district hospital to receive epilepsy medication and follow-up care. Three young adults received support to attend vocational training. WLP also helped supported the family of one young woman with disabilities who passed away with her funeral expenses. 60635 48807 0 Humanitarian Assistance Program for People with Disabilities: The program focuses on poor families in Vietnam with one or more children with severe and/or multiple disabilities.
