Earning money and dignity online

Ahmat Gopur lost his legs in a car accident in 2012.

As a cotton farmer, the 36-year-old from Daxi village, Yuli county, the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, made 40,000($5,800) to 50,000 yuan a year, but the accident stripped him of everything.

In 2014, desperate to make his own living, he started learning how to use a computer. The training provided him with the skills to set up an online store in August, selling dried fruits and nuts.
