In Laos
The Mekong Elephant Park
The French NGO APEEL supports the Mekong Elephant Park pilot project, which aims to preserve an endangered species, the elephant, through eco-tourism projects. The sanctuary works to preserve a natural habitat and protect an ecosystem, imperative for the proper diversification of flora. It also offers alternative employment for mahouts and undertakes initiatives to reproduce and rescue exploited pachyderms.
ASAS
ASAS is a non-profit organisation set up in 2013 to build access to drinking water and help rehabilitate schools in
isolated villages in northern Laos. It has also created the country’s first “City of Science”, a fun and educational center.
Xonphao
Set up in 2017, this not-for-profit association takes in and helps around thirty vulnerable men and women including people with disabilities or living in extreme poverty. The association trains these beneficiaries in crafting activities to help them become more independent.
In Cambodia
Angkor Children Hospital
The hospital was founded in 1999 and has become one of Cambodia’s leading paediatric hospitals. It provides free, high-quality care to around 500-600 children every day. The hospital’s strategic mission is to improve healthcare for all children in the country, train medical staff and educate the community about health.
APOPO
APOPO’s demining teams operate in countries, such as Cambodia, that have suffered from the legacy of past conflicts. Their mission is to protect people and the planet through innovative solutions that use trained rats to speed up the detection of landmines. To date, nineteen mine-detecting rats have passed their International Mine Action Standards (IMAS) accreditation in Cambodia and are operating in the clearance process at 4 sites in the country.
In Vietnam
KOTO
KOTO is an association that aims to offer vocational training to underprivileged young children and vulnerable young women to get them off the streets. To do this, they are given free training in hotel management and cookery, as well as English lessons for 24 months, followed by work placements in establishments across the capital. The ultimate aim of these apprenticeships is to enable these young people to find a job or even set up their own business.
Les Enfants du Dragon
The association was set up in 2009 to provide financial and material support for humanitarian projects for the poorest children in Vietnam. The aim is to ensure that they thrive in a safe environment with access to drinking water, and to promote their socialisation by helping them to gain access to culture and become independent.
