Introduction
English is such an important asset for Lao students because the major industries require international cooperation. In this farming community, higher/vocational education isn't readily available and your gift will provide a place for the community to learn.
Report
We will provide English teaching to those community members that are in need to do something to tackle their future. English is critical skill for the community as it is an essential requirement of any job in the big cities. Even as a mechanic it is useful to know English to communicate with customers. A donation of $25 will fund one desk for a student. Building of the school began a couple of months ago and all foundations have been laid.

Empowering through education!
By Shayle Havemann | Project leader
Introduction
Due to education in Laos only being compulsory for 5 years, the education they do receive is often poor quality and under-resourced. This project aims to tackle the education inequality in these areas by providing quality educational resources, teacher training and improved facilities to encourage children to continue their studies into higher education.
Report
The long term impact of this project is to work towards increasing access to quality education for all students regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, or religious background by providing a place to study free classes in English and other life skills workshops, as well as providing quality educational materials and resources to aid in education. This is directly contributing to SDG 4-Quality Education and SDG 10-Reduced Inequalities. We managed to raise $25 but will continue in our efforts to support this initiative.
Thank you for your support.

Increasing opportunities in Laos!

Introduction
After the secret war in Laos, the country never fully managed to get back on its feet. And the remnants of this war could not be more prominent than in Xiengkhouang. Living in Meuang Kham, you can still hear bombs being detonated every day as they continue to work to clear the unexploded ordinances from the rice fields where families still live, work, and let their children play. And unfortunately, it's hard for students who want to have options outside the subsistence farming life.
Report
This project provides English teaching to those community members that would like to do something to improve their future options. English is a critical skill for the community as it is an essential requirement of any job in the big cities. Even as a mechanic it is useful to know English to communicate with customers. Tackling the issue of access to education we are building an english education centre that will open with your support. We have already launched in October 2022 and offer 3 classrooms but still have a long way to go.
Thank you for your support.
