Founded in 2019, MITTAPHAP Education is a registered nonprofit under the Ministry of Education in Laos PDR. Based in Nathong Village near Vang Vieng, the project builds on the legacy of the former EEFA-Saelao, offering free English classes and sustainable development opportunities to the local community.
We believe that education is the foundation of equality—and we strive to make that belief a reality through hands-on learning, community engagement, and international collaboration.
At the heart of our initiative is a community-led approach to sustainability. With an organic farm, a learning center, and a volunteer hub, we connect education with practical action to create a brighter future for Nathong Village.
Our daily English lessons, skill-building workshops, and cultural exchanges empower learners while showcasing eco-friendly technologies and sustainable practices.
Education. Environment. Employment.
Our Sustainable Development Projects (SDPs) are driven by this mission:
Education : Free English classes, digital literacy, and skills training for all ages
Environment : Organic farming, eco-building, and sustainable living practices
Employment : Fair-wage opportunities and job training for local youth
We aim to be a recognized leader in sustainable development in Laos and Cambodia. Our goal is to build a thriving, self-sufficient community where waste becomes resource, learning is lifelong, and sustainability is the norm—not the exception.
We are proud recipients of the 2015 Energy Globe National Award for Lao PDR, recognizing our work in renewable energy and resource conservation.
We’re expanding adult education, launching new community business projects, and enhancing our eco-systems on-site. Upcoming initiatives include:
Producing and selling natural local products.
Creating efficient water and waste systems.
Forming new partnerships to fund and sustain our growth.
Support SAE LAO and help build a brighter future in rural Laos. You can volunteer to teach, farm, or support community projects—or donate to keep our programs running. Every bit of help makes a real difference.
