More Information About this Project

Project Needs and Beneficiaries

Many schools in rural Laos suffer from neglect and lack of funds; they are unsafe and unsuitable for teaching children and lack even basic equipment, like chairs and desks. SEDA Laos is raising money to renovate 3 of the very poorest schools in Laos, where the roofs leak, there is poor electricity, no desks or chairs or any basic teaching materials. Over 1000 children will benefit from the project, improving their literacy and education and giving them a brighter future.

Activities

The project will help three schools to renovate their classrooms and buy basic materials. This includes improving school buildings, providing desks, chairs and blackboards.

Funding Information

Total Funding Received to Date: $205
Remaining Goal to be Funded: $49,795
Total Funding Goal: $50,000

Additional Documentation

This project has provided additional documentation in a PDF file (projdoc.pdf).

Why this Project is Important

Potential Long Term Impact

The renovation of these three schools will provide a prospering place of learning for children from 20 rural villages. Access to improved education will in turn give villagers an improved chance of a sustainable and productive income.

Project Message

A good education today will mean a much better future for Laos. Please donate!

Latest Update from the Field

Please help SEDA improve schools

By Charlotte Halligan - Communications and Public Relations Manager, September 23, 2009 02:01 PM

Thank you to everyone who has donated so far to this cause. SEDA is trying to raise enough funds to renovate three schools and is reliant on your help to achieve our goal.

SEDA believes that improving education and giving children the best start in life is one of the most effective ways to beat poverty. Please help us raise the money we need in anyway you can.

Just $10 can make a difference, please donate and let other people know about the plight of school children in Laos. You can add the Global Giving widget to your own website, or email your friends and family to let them know about this very worthy cause.

Please don’t let the potential of young people in Laos go to waste.
