Improving livelihood, public health, access to medical care and education, and more ...
We support quality learning spaces in various settings, such as community-based education and vocational programs, to ensure that children have access to age and condition-appropriate learning environments.
How we get there:
Nam Dong Early Intervention Center
We support the operating costs of this rural center to enable children with disabilities to access early intervention services, pre-school education, daily living skills training, and physical therapy.
Vocational Training and Scholarships
We support learning opportunities that teach employment-related and trade-specific technical skills, such as in sewing, embroidery, bike repair, carpentry, small engine repair, graphic design and other trades for people with disabilities in Vietnam and Laos.
We provide scholarships to students with disabilities or their siblings at various educational levels, from primary, middle, secondary and university.
Bikes for School
Working with our local partners, we provide and subsidize bikes for rural children, especially those from households caring for a member living with a disability or illness, who live miles from their schools, so that distance doesn’t deter these children from attending school.
Our work in Nong District, Savannakhet Province, Laos includes supporting non formal education for children and adults who never attended school or dropped out due to disabilities or the need to help their parents in the fields. For the majority, Lao is not their native language. Classes take place in the evenings when students have more free time.
In the Literacy level class students learn to read and write in Lao as well as math skills to the equivalent of second grade. The average age of the students is fifteen. In the Primary level classes the students achieve the equivalent of a fifth grade education enabling them to continue to lower secondary school or attend vocational training programs.
Education Program
WHAT WE DO
Through our Education Program, we ensure that youth and adults have high levels of livelihood, cognitive, literacy, and math skills to succeed in life. Education gives people the opportunity to learn and thrive, so that they are set up for a better future. This program allows us to accelerate the progress toward a world free of conflict and of war’s many legacies.
War Legacies Project provides youth and adults access to quality educational opportunities that help them learn the skills they need to survive and thrive. We work with practitioners and advocates who design early, effective, and accessible teaching programs that improve outcomes and address the educational disparities faced by the most vulnerable populations in Vietnam and Laos.
