Laos remains one of the poorest countries in the world, largely because a significant percentage of its population is engaged in subsistence farming, and the children of those families are denied an education for economic reasons or simply due to isolation.
The Foundation works in partnership with a locally based non-profit organisation called the Buddhist Heritage Project. Through our longstanding partnership, we have supported a variety of initiatives to bolster the experiences of local communities. We have seen the impact these projects have had on local people, who have become active participants in driving them forward.
You can watch a short video of some of our projects.
