More Information About this Project
Project Needs and Beneficiaries
Ban Phao School is one of many schools in rural Laos suffering from neglect and lack of funds. Parts of this school were built 20 years ago from materials donated by families of the village. As a result of age and weather, these classrooms have become unsafe for the student population. Parents, students and teachers of Ban Phao and two other villages have requested assistance to renovate and equip the school.
Activities
This project helps three schools. Your donations will meet part of the costs, with the rest to be met by villagers. Total cost is $75,000. SEDA is requesting $7,600 for furniture & supplies; $6500 for water filters & computers; $12,500 for rebuilding
Funding Information
Total Funding Received to Date: $6,850

The principle of the school reported that six rooms in the building have been renovated and desks, chairs and fans for the classrooms have been purchased.
