Plan Laos: what we do

Plan’s work in Laos covers 3 core areas, all of which are rooted in the rights of the child:

• early childhood education and development
• basic education and child protection
• water, sanitation, and hygiene
• health and nutrition
• building relationships.

Plan works closely with government education services, to support early childhood education, including:

• helping communities to improve pre-schools
• training pre-school teachers in stimulating and enjoyable teaching methods
• provision of books, educational and play materials, desks and equipment
• curriculum development for a short in-service course for pre-school teachers
• increasing awareness amongst key decision-makers at national level of the importance of early childhood education.

Plan Laos

Plan has been working in Laos since 2007, helping poor children to realise their rights to education, health and a high quality of life.

In the 300 communities that we work with, there are difficulties accessing adequate healthcare, sanitation and basic education. The communities are impoverished, which can leave them vulnerable.

Plan Laos helps children reclaim their rights through programmes and participatory activities that place children at the centre of their own development.

Currently, among our priorities is supporting Early Childhood Care & Development in communities to secure young children’s right to a good education. This is done both through early-learning centres, co-located with primary schools, and community-based parenting groups.

Plan also works with local organisations and government agencies to ensure education policies protect the children’s right to quality education.
