In 2009 we supported another project of Friends International, in Laos. Peuan Mit (meaning ‘friends’ in Lao) is a program designed and implemented by Friends-International in close collaboration with the Ministry of Labor and Social Welfare to address the needs of street children and youth in Laos.

Peuan Mit works with 800 children and youth every month in the Lao capital, Vientiane, helping them to reintegrate back into Lao society and to prevent more children from coming to the streets. They support children and young people to return to public school, find employment, return to their families, become citizens of their own country, to discover their own culture and to express themselves.
