what is eefa?

EEFA (Equal Education Fund for All) is an initiative created by the MITTAPHAP Project that directly supports children and education. It raises funds to ensure every child can access free, equal and quality education – no matter where they are born. 

EEFA will enhance the educational impact of our project in 2026 and continue in the years to come. 

why an extension fund for education?

The MITTAPHAP Project is currently 100% self-financed, mainly through volunteer contrubutions and run by our paid Lao team together with interntional volunteers. While part of education fund comes from these contrubutions, this model is flexible but fully secure or sustainable – because funding depends on the number of volunteers at any given time. 

When there is a shortage of volunteers, the education program risks disruption. That’s why we establied EEFA – to ensure stable, continuous funding for education and to secure the future of our students.
