Four areas, projects rooted in the field
This page brings together the actions Samaki Laos supports directly in the field across four areas: education, training, local development and solidarity.
Education
Give children more opportunities to learn and progress by strengthening solutions that can work locally over time.
Training
Share practical skills that people can then use themselves to develop an activity and gain independence.
Training
Massage Project
Five women from Tad Lo are developing their traditional massage skills and their ability to run their activity independently.
Goal: €800Explore the projectLocal development
Support initiatives already led by local people so they can grow without being replaced by an outside project.
Local development
Katu Sisters
Sydachan and Soutavan are developing their Katu skills, sewing, new products and economic independence.
Goal: €1,000Explore the projectSolidarity
Step in when a concrete obstacle can weaken a person’s path, while avoiding long-term dependency.
Solidarity
School sponsorship
Help families cover essential school expenses so that financial difficulty does not become a barrier to a child’s education.
Around €30 per month per childExplore the projectOur principle
Help without creating dependency
We prefer a small project that becomes independent to a large initiative that cannot continue without us.
That is why every project evolves at its own pace. We may begin with training, return a few months later, adjust the need or sometimes decide that our presence is no longer necessary.
Success is not a project always needing Samaki Laos. Success is the day it can move forward without us.
