Education at SAE LAO

Education is at the heart of SAE LAO and is what we do best. Our English classes have been the most important part of the project for community and volunteers since the project opened. 

The SAE LAO community centre currently provides the facilities for English lessons, IT classes, a library, adult skills trainings and presentations on sustainability.

One of the main objectives of the SAE LAO Project is to give the local community the opportunity to learn English for free. We currently hold English classes five nights per week. Over 300 students registered in September 2016 !

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 page 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?
