Your support can make a difference.

Your contribution to World Education Laos can support families and children whose lives have been devastated by the landmines and unexploded ordnance (UXO) from the Vietnam War. The funds that you donate ensure that survivors of landmine and UXO accidents receive adequate medical care, psychosocial support, and job skills training so that they can live full and productive lives even after a destructive accident. Donations will also be used to build local hospital capacity in rural areas of Laos and to train medical and teaching professionals.

Gifts In Kind

As conditions in Laos vary greatly from those in the USA, or other parts of the world, gifts of materials or equipment often cannot be utilized as intended. Instead, we encourage cash donations so our Lao collaborators can purchase items locally, which builds their community support in Laos.
