The MITTAPHAP-Saelao projects currently provide facilities for English lessons, IT classes, a library, adult skills training, and presentations on sustainability. We offer a variety of programs to our community, as outlined below.
Students are taught by volunteers who are either native English speakers or speak English as a second language. We encourage everyone coming to the project to participate in teaching English classes and to speak English with the staff to help them improve and gain confidence.
We support local children and young people to get educated. Our Project offers individuals a chance to gain work experience and improve their English by working at the SAE LAO Project, while receiving a fair wage.
Please visit our Scholarship Program to learn more about the current Sae Lao graduates we sponsor through University.
We want to give them a chance for higher education they wouldn’t receive otherwise. Perhaps you can help us to give the gift of education?
There are many bright, eager students, who often travel far after school to attend the classes. Rain or shine, we always have some enthusiastic and committed students. Some of these young adults would love to continue studying after high school, but many cannot afford the University fees, cost of living or the cost of applying for University.
Since 2015, our scholarship program has successfully supported nine students thus far through their first and second year of university, covering the costs of tuition and living expenses.
SAE LAO assists these students with all the support we can give. However, as a grass roots nonprofit, we have limited resources to maintain the program every year. In order to provide financial support for these students to make it through all of the costs of their higher education journeys.
2015 saw our first IT classes and since then IT is a part of our upper level English classes.
Many people in Lao have never turned on a computer before and in the modern workforce, computer knowledge is becoming increasingly valuable, as well as giving people access to a much wider range of information and resources for learning.
From English level 3 through English level 5, the students get an introduction to using the computer, internet and how to create and use documents.
We are thrilled to have you join us here at the Saelao Project. By becoming part of our community, you’re stepping into an inspiring journey focused on education, sustainability, and meaningful connections with the local community. Together, we work to create a positive impact, not only by teaching and learning but by building a better future for everyone involved.
