Giving from the Heart
Congratulations to our 2024 Scholarship Recipients!
Our Mission
Jai Lao Foundation is dedicated to providing humanitarian aid and educational opportunities to the communities of Laos. We work directly with local partners to deliver essential support, including disaster relief, school construction, access to clean water, and donations of food, hygiene supplies, and clothing.
Our mission is to create safe, enriching environments where children can receive an education and families have the resources to sustain themselves while pursuing their hopes and dreams.
JLF is committed to expanding opportunities in higher education and empowering the next generation of leaders within the multi-ethnic Lao-American community. Through our scholarship program, we strive to bridge disparities in access and provide much-needed support for students of Laotian descent pursuing higher education.
By investing in our youth through the gift of education, we are cultivating a generation of scholars with bright minds and compassionate hearts. As we grow, we seek to further increase representation and accessibility by fostering professional and peer connections through mentorship, amplifying Lao voices, and rewarding students who are dedicated to building a strong cultural foundation that strengthens and uplifts the Lao community.
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.
