The project originates from the idea of CEO Nguyen Van Phuc, one of the Top 10 Inspirational Figures at the WeChoice Awards 2023, following a meeting with the Hanoi Association of People with Disabilities. He has decided to launch vocational training courses to help people with disabilities develop skills and enhance their self-reliance.

So far, the project has attracted more than 60 people with disabilities, helping them to get a steady income. "Initially, many participants only expect to earn VND 2–3 million per month, but over time their income far exceeds expectations. Some outstanding workers can even make VND400,000–500,000 per working day," shares Phuc.
