Local Aid

We also seek to enrich the lives of the local Lao community. To date, we have awarded more than $113,000 in scholarships to multi-ethnic Lao American college students of refugee descent, and we are deeply proud of the meaningful impact our annual scholarship program has achieved with the support of our donors. In addition, we have donated to youth programs that celebrate and preserve Lao culture through the arts, fostering cultural pride, creativity, and community connection.

Empowering our youths through the gift of education helps to empower the way they think and feel about their heritage and culture. To date, we have awarded over $113,000 in scholarships to deserving students.

We have contributed grants to Lao community based organizations that provide scholarship to local students. We believe in working together with other communities for the betterment and advancement of higher education for students of Lao refugee descent.

Through our partnership with Yaonoy Center, we are able to provide deserving and eager students tuition money to attend an English Language Learning Center in Vientiane that teaches students the value of higher education.
