GCSF made the effort to help 550 disabled in Vietnam enable to move and earn their livelihoods. This is a non-profit organization having headquarters in Washington D.C. GCSF works to eliminate hunger and reduce poverty in Southeast Asia by implementing community based projects in Myanmar and Vietnam. Marcia Selva, the founder and chairwoman of GCSF says, “ Unless there is cooperation between those organizations and Dongnai Newspaper, a lot of disabled in Vietnam still have difficulty in moving and in earning their livelihoods”. So far, GCSF has offered over 1,600 wheelchairs to the disabled.
