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.

Latest Update from the Field
Project completed - Thank you!
By Charlotte Halligan - Communications and PR Consultant, July 31, 2009 10:29 AM
Thanks to your generous donations, and help from a private donor and the Lao PDR Government, we have been able to complete the renovations at both schools.
The children of Ban Phao village have also benefited from volunteer English teacher Will Thomason, who has recently finished teaching an 8 week summer school program.
Head teacher at the Ban Phao school, Mr Khan told SEDA:
“The children are delighted with their new school and learnt a lot from Will. We were very sad to see him leave. We really hope that we can work with SEDA and Global Giving donors to keep making improvements.”
Continuing to improve education:
SEDA’s work improving education is not finished. Following the successes in Ban Phao and Ban Hai, over 100 schools in Laos have asked to work with SEDA on renovations and providing school materials.
We still need your help to reach our goals and make a real difference to education in Laos. SEDA would be grateful if donors could send a nominal donation, from just $10, to the new education projects listed on Global Giving, to keep the work going and to receive updates on all the great things that are happening.
We also welcome comments, feedback and suggestions from donors. Please email us at info@seda-laos.org.
