About us
Believing education is key to ending poverty, CLI has been providing education based aid projects in Laos since 1997.
Projects
From running library boats and learning centers to school construction, all our projects are designed to support one another.
Laos
Bordering Thailand, Laos is also known as 'The Land of a Million Elephants', and is one of the poorest countries in the world.
Learning Centers
Learning Centers are a proven and effective way of realising a child's potential in an engaging and rewarding environment.
My Nong Kiaw book project completed by teens
A beautiful 60-page book of photos and captions showing aspects of the lives of Lao teens has just been printed and is on sale now through CLI. The book is part of a CLI project, Young Cultural Ambassadors, designed to bridge the gap between tourists and locals in Nong Kiaw.
