|
We focus on engaging our volunteers with development work in rural Laos, whilst also seeking local communities to work to a development model designed to deliver independence and sustainability.
More than just giving to the communities- we work with them. In preliminary meetings we discuss potential avenues for project work. We require the village to commit to the project in the form of materials or labour. Once the community commit then it becomes their project- they have a vested interest in learning and understanding it- that engagement is fundamental to the development work we do. Once the project is completed, we run workshops with the community on how to maintain and look after the work. By having this engagement with rural communities we remove their sole dependence on us. Indeed, they can then become self-sufficient, independent and able to sustain the project themselves. We will provide villages with the basic infrastructure they need, the essentials, and provide them the skills and knowledge to develop of their own accord.

Our work
From running water through to education, Volun-Tour Laos looks for projects that surround developing health and well being, or anything related to education. Bringing communities together to work for what they need and giving volunteers the opportunity to assist and engage with communities. |
Our Partners
We work with a range of organisations, from local non-profits, global charities, through to tour companies. Apart from our affiliates we also rely on an array of donors and supporters to assist our work. We are always in need of support and are ever on the look out for advice and innovative ideas to extend the reach and depth of our work. |
Our History
Our work today is a culmination of years of experience in rural development work and volunteer service programs. Starting from small origins we still remain true to the goals we set out at the start. Our staff are all proud of our history and year on year we look to enhance and improve our work. |
