Measure first-hand the impact of a sheltered fund

The Fund Action Laos sheltered by Swiss Philanthropy Foundation targets the educational development of disadvantaged villages in Laos. The target for 2018 is to support 450 underprivileged young people and the improvement of living conditions for 1’453 families.
To this end, the Fund is supporting three organisations in this country: Pencils of promise, PADETC and Agrisud. They operate in different fields but have the common objective of allowing disadvantaged young people a better access to education, training and the job market.
As projects started one year ago, members of the Steering Committee of the Fund Action Laos sheltered by Swiss Philanthropy Foundation went on site to meet the partners and see the first results.
The work undertaken by Swiss Philanthropy Foundation in a difficult context is admirably realized and testifies to its great commitment. We are very pleased with this fruitful collaboration which allows us to be confident and serene for the future, and we do not doubt the positive effects that will result from these projects“ witnessed Sylvie Manzini and Niels Bohr, members of the steering committee of the Fund Action Laos, following their on-site visit.
