Plan International Laos

Plan International began operating in Laos in 2007 to advance children’s rights and equality for girls.

We work with vulnerable children and adolescents, especially girls and young women, to ensure they are equally valued by society, healthy, knowledgeable and decide on matters that affect them.

We work in Bokeo, Luang Prabang, Oudomxay, Saravan, Vientiane Provinces, and Vientiane Capital.

In addition, we work through partners in Bolikhamxay, Champasak, Khammuan, Luang Namtha, Savannakhet, and Xayabouly Provinces.

To accomplish this we work in the following key areas:

Increased access to sanitation and health services to improve nutrition for women and children in marginalised communities
Sustained access to quality education for disadvantaged children, particularly girls and ethnic non-Lao speakers, with the support of parents and communities
Supporting adolescents, particularly girls, to lead and make informed decisions about their bodies and lives
Improved economic skills, entrepreneurial spirit, opportunities and employment conditions for young people, especially young women.
