Lao Red Cross has implemented a wide range of activities in schools in the past years in partnership with government, PNSs as well as Civil Society Organizations. This includes activities in Disaster Risk Reduction and Health which all contribute to creating safe leaning environments for children. Recognizing children as agents of change, there is also an opportunity to invest in their potential to reach wider communities and enhance community safety and resilience in the country.
Since 2014, Lao Red Cross is also a consortium partner of a DIPECHO-funded project which includes school-based activities under the technical leadership of Save the Children.
