KL Inc. is pleased to confirm our 6th school construction project in Laos.
Na Chantai Primary School in Savannakhet Province, located 8 hours drive south of Vientiane, will be the next recipient of our donors’ generosity.
The existing building is structurally compromised and lacks seating capacity to accommodate the anticipated increase in the student population. SKL Inc. will replace the existing school facility with a fully furnished five-classroom building.
SKL is pleased to announce an $18,000 (US) donation from a very generous group of supporters based in Singapore. The gift is directed to the new school which will be built in Ban Na Chantai, Laos. This is the largest donation ever received by School for Kids in Laos. The group, led by Madame Hoe Puay Choo, also supported the newly opened school in Viengkham with a significant financial donation as well as school supplies and sports equipment.
On December 18, SKL representatives officially opened the new school building for Viengkham Lower Secondary School. A large number of donors from all over the world - Britain, USA, Singapore, Laos and four provinces in Canada - joined in the festivities. a special gift of school supplies, text books and sports equipment was provided by the Yap Family and friends from Singapore and Mr. Richard van den stant from Beijing.
The District Department of Education representative and school officials expressed their gratitude for SKL's contribution and support of their students. We thank all of our generous donors who made this new school possible. You are making a difference in the lives of these children.
Dear supporters,
Time flies ... Before we knew it, it’s almost time to attend the school inauguration for Viengkham Lower Secondary School. We started our donation drive to build this school two years ago. In these 2 years, you helped us achieve our milestone of the fifth school built under SKL Inc., and our first secondary school that we rebuilt! We cannot express how grateful we are, for you to trust us with your continued support and generous donations, out of the so many charity causes out there. Thank you again.
The inauguration which will be held on December 18, 2015, will be marked by the attendance of donors and supporters from Manitoba, Ontario, United States, Singapore, United Kingdom, Australia and Laos. We think you will agree with us that this is truly a worldwide effort that came together to help School for Kids in Laos Inc. achieve its mission to provide children with an adequate learning environment by rebuilding dilapidated schools in Laos.
We invite you to follow us on our travel blog for this special occasion on our website.

Sometimes it can lead to changing the lives of children in a far-off country. That’s what the Phanlouvong family has done — along with the father’s high school friends — after vacationing in the country the father escaped from in 1979. And that’s how School for Kids in Laos (SKL) came about.
THANK YOU SKL SUPPORTERS!
