Our Mission
Providing education, training and support, helping children and young people to improve their standard of living and to grow intellectually, emotionally and morally. They accompany children as far as possible according to their abilities, their desires and until their professional integration.The Need
There are many causes for children to drop out of school or work, and the education programs aim at fighting them. The priorities of action are rural poverty, ethnic minorities, girls' education, disability or chronic illnesses, slums and informal settlements, refugees and displaced persons.The Solution
Sponsoring more than 23,000 children, they fund about 100 education projects every year, and run 10 education centers to provide access to secondary education and university, as well as holistic training to children and young people so they can become well-rounded individuals.Our Impact
The greatest impact can be witnessed simply by watching the students and alumni. Children of the Mekong is also proud to hear that businesses chose to hire our students for their language skills, their capacity to adapt, and their honesty.
