Our Mission

Jai Lao Foundation's mission is to work in partnership with the communities of Laos to provide basic humanitarian aid and educational opportunities. We seek to help rural villages because they do not have access to the vital necessities that we often take for granted in developed areas.

We aim to create safe and enriching environments for children to receive an education-where families have the necessary tools to sustain themselves and pursue their hopes and dreams.

100% of proceeds go directly towards the families in need.

Jai Lao Foundation is a non-profit organization that has always promised that donations from the public will not be used for any purpose other than to help the children. Funds to cover administrative expenses of running an organization come directly from private donors and fundraisers. Volunteers also contribute annually to ensure that this promise is carried out. Jai Lao was founded on the aspiration to give back and help others above all else.

Our Impact

Jai Lao Foundation has built and renovated schools and libraries, provided clean water systems to remote villages, and brought educational supplies to thousands of children all throughout Laos. We have been able to provide relief to communities who have lost everything to floods, aid special needs centers, and deliver essential clothing, food, and hygienic items to families in need.

We also seek to enrich the lives of the Lao community locally. We have awarded over $65,000 in scholarships to Lao American college students of refugee descent and have donated to youth programs that promote Lao culture through the arts. We hope to intensify our local impact by relaunching the scholarship program in the US and expanding to Laos & Canada.
