In the second quarter of 2025, MCNV focused on sharing knowledge to improve daily life in the districts of Phin and Sepone in Laos. Together with local communities, we work toward a future in which children grow up safely, mothers receive proper care, and clean water and toilets are part of everyday life.
Yet many families in remote villages still lack clean drinking water and sanitation. Children still become ill from preventable diseases. That is why we ask for your support—so more families can gain access to clean water, better hygiene, and a healthier life.
Promising Start in Phin
Although our program in Phin only began this year, local involvement is strong. Women actively seek guidance and show commitment. Early results are encouraging: child malnutrition has already decreased, partly thanks to home gardens.
Still a Long Way to Go
Out of 3,059 families in 20 villages, only 153 have a toilet. Not everyone sees the importance of sanitation yet, making education essential. Through training sessions and knowledge exchange with Sepone—where MCNV has supported communities for several years—people learn what is possible and what works.
We also use existing initiatives such as government vaccination days to measure children’s growth and offer health education to mothers.
Our Local Strength
With experienced members of MCNV Laos team – Fine, Done and program manager Sivone – we reach even the most remote villages. Phin’s better accessibility creates opportunities for faster progress—but extra support is crucial to make this happen.
