The foundation Angels for Children is committed to promoting education in three Lao governmental schools near the capital Vientiane. Despite the private support, the schools are open to all children in the area, and parents do not have to pay school fees. The foundation’s work is always done in harmony with culture and religion; it does not influence the children’s private education.
Ensuring access to education
The existence of a school is no guarantee that children will (be able to) attend school. The foundation Angels for Children is therefore committed to enabling all children in the vicinity of the schools to attend school.
Ensuring quality education
The foundation Angels for Children Foundation started its work in Laos in 2003 with the renovation and equipping of the primary school Ban Sikeud. In order to ensure sustainable quality education, many other measures were and are necessary in addition to the investment in infrastructure.
Holistic local management
The foundation Angels for Children, founded by Ingrid Engel in 2003, has had Laotian staff members for many years who manage the foundation in Lao PDR and implement and supervise the projects.
Transition to vocational training & work
In cooperation with the Lao-German Technical College, BHS Corrugated GmbH and the Überbetriebliches Bildungszentrum in Ostbayern gGmbH, graduates who have completed nine years of school are given the opportunity to complete three years of free vocational training as electricians or mechanics.
Cooperation with local stakeholders
The foundation Angels for Children is in close exchange with local Lao authorities and acts in accordance with legal, social and cultural framework conditions. The planning and implementation of measures are coordinated with the relevant authorities depending on the scope.
