Book Box Fund
Lao Voices is a site supported by you (members and visitors). We pride ourselves on being run and owned as a community and working together to contribute to the Laotian community in any way that we can.
We support the National Library of Laos Reading Promotion Program, to raise donations to pay for book box libraries to be placed in rural schools in Laos. It is a sad fact that the Ministry of Education in Laos has no budget for books or educational supplies. The majority of Lao schools don’t have libraries or access to books for students.
There is hope however for Lao students to gain access to reading materials. The National Library of Laos started its National Reading Promotion Program (NRPP) in 1989 with the assistance of the Japanese government to promote literacy and reading among children and their families in Laos.
The National Library of Laos Reading Promotion Program provides boxes containing books (funded by foreign aid) to rural schools. At the same time, NRPP also promotes literary in Laos using Book Mobile library.
We are seeking your help to continue providing “Book Boxes” to schools in Laos. We kindly request your help and hope that you make a monetary contribution in whatever denomination you would like to Lao Voices Book Box Library Fund.
Donations will go straight to Laotian kids. Please help us giving them the power of knowledge. Your contribution is highly appreciated.
