Child’s Dream (founded in 2003) is a Mekong Sub-regional NGO, operating in Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos and Thailand.
The work in Laos began in 2005 and focuses on addressing educational disparities. So far, over 220 school buildings and 20 computer labs have been built. Furthermore, over a thousand high school students through scholarships and life-skills training completed the educational cycle, among other educational interventions.
In partnership with UZHF, Child`s Dream provides secure learning environments, focusing on accessible, safe, and quality school buildings. Since access to basic education remains challenging in remote areas of the country, additional boarding houses for students are constructed. Additionally, building computer labs helps enhance ICT skills and future job opportunities.
The bottom-up approach of the project supports all stakeholders and fosters long-term project ownership. Key goals include enhancing learning conditions, improving student health and hygiene, boosting enrollment, and lowering dropout rates.
