Plan International began operating in Laos in 2008 to advance children’s rights and equality for girls. We work with vulnerable children, families and communities so they can build the best possible futures for themselves.

We work with communities where there is low school enrolment and completion, poor hygiene, little-to-no access to sanitation, limited safe water and high levels of malnutrition.

The areas of the country we work in are Bokeo, Saravane and Oudomxay.

Our key areas of work include:

• Providing parents with the facilities and knowledge to give their children a healthy start in life
• Providing access to quality education for all vulnerable children, particularly girls
• Improving the health of children by ensuring good sanitation and hygiene practices and providing sustainable access to clean water.
