Project #10: Khonevat Primary School

For Project Number 10 we are heading to Xaysomboun province: Khonevat village is located within the Longxan district and is approximately 250 km northwest of Vientiane. Ban Khonevat has a population of 2,939 with 517 households made up of 75% ethnic Hmong, 10% Mien and 15% other ethnic groups including lower land Lao.

Khonevat primary school currently has 381 students from Grade 1 to 5 mostly of the Hmong and Mien ethnic minorities. There are two school buildings one of which is in such bad repair that it cannot be used. That means 201 students are forced to attend schools in neighboring villages.

Working with the local community SKL will build a new school which will include 5 classrooms, furniture, clean water supply, electricity and sanitary washrooms for all 381 students. 

Total cost is estimated at $85,000. With our new cost-sharing approach with Khonevat and neighboring villages, local business and stakeholders, we estimate our share of the cost will be approximately $45,000. Stay tuned for further details and photos.

After 90% of funding has been reached SKL Inc. was delighted to announce that the construction of the 5-classroom complex Khonevat Primary School has started!

Project #11: Phoxaykhoun Secondary School

Phaxaykhoun village, Xonnaboury district, Savannakhet province is located 600 km Southeast of Vientiane. It’s one of the most underserved regions of Laos. 

Phaxaykhoun secondary school, a 7-10 classroom project, with current enrollment of 235, is a collaboration with 9 villages with a combined population of 7,873 inhabitants; and a small group of local professionals and businesses. This collaborative team approach speaks volumes about the commitment of the local community. 

With our new cost-sharing approach SKL’s share of the cost of this fully furnished school project with clean water supply, sanitary washrooms, and electricity is estimated to be between $55,000 to $65,000. 

With this new cost-sharing approach combine with enthusiastic local participation and your support we at are optimistic we can give students a brighter future to hope for!
