Laos

Where
Our work in Laos is conducted in Luang Prabang province in the north of the country where we focus on rural education for poorer more isolated communities.
 
Who
Our partner in Laos is a wonderful local organisation called Community Learning International (CLI) which is run by our friend Bob Anderson who has lived in Laos for 15 years. CLI are a small NGO with low overheads and a proven track record of getting things done in a very challenging   environement.  
 
Why
Laos is a very poor country with basic infrastructure and the province we work in is particularly neglected. We are especially concerned with improving educational opportunities for rural girls. 
 
Achievements
 
Bouammi Village Primary School  
 
Constructed this new school in 2010 as well as provided school furniture, supplies etc.
 
Library Boats on Mekong & Ou Rivers 
 
Capital and operating costs paid for 2 library boats on the Mekong & Ou Rivers allowing doubling of the previous schedule.
 
Chomphet Village High School Dormitory 
 
Funded 50% of construction of a dormitory for approximately 150 girls, with an open air/roofed "study sala" connecting the dorm to a new library.
 
Namtuam High School 
 
Built a water pump and tank for this school of 2,500 children with no water source on site. The water pump has been located near the girl’s dormitory to encourage more rural girls to attend school. The next phase is to build a shower and toilet block.

Distribution of local language books, clothes, toys and other school supplies.
