One report shows only 4% of college/uni grads in Laos live below the poverty line as opposed to 47% who didn't have access to education. We aim to improve students' ability to increase their socio-economic status and their capacity to contribute to the development of their communities and country. Ultimately, we aim to provide equal access to education, scholarships and employment opportunities for men and women so that they can meaningfully contribute towards the development of Laos.
Through a thorough interviewing process, conducted by local staff, we identify youth in need of support. In addition to providing access to English education and skills development through our other programs, should the individual be deemed in need of assistance, we seek to provide a scholarship to increase their access to educational opportunities. Students with sponsorship are less likely to drop out due to economic pressures and therefore more likely to succeed in the long term.
