Since 1958, providing access to education in Southeast Asia
In Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam, Children of the Mekong helps children grow through child sponsorship and education projects since 1958.
Our priorities of action are ethnic minorities, rural populations, education for girls, disability, slums, refugees and early childhood.
You are invited to our next video call!
Whether you’ve just joined our big family of sponsors or you’re thinking about sponsoring a child, join us on the 12th of March!
Marie and Eugenie will be there to answer your questions, guide you, and share insights from the heart of our organisation.
TRANSPARENCY AND EFFICIENCY OF OUR ACTION
With its wealth of experience, Children of Mekong has relied since 1958 on a network of friends made up of more than 1,000 local volunteers.
Educate, train, and support young people so that they can improve their material living conditions and build themselves intellectually, emotionally, and morally.
84% of the funds raised are dedicated to our education programmes. In Asia, over 95,000 children benefit from our work every year.
Children of the Mekong was awarded the IDEAS label for good governance, transparency, and monitoring of the effectiveness of its actions in 2011, which was renewed in 2015, 2019 and 2024.
Happy Tet Festival!
Têt, the Vietnamese New Year, is a symbol of renewal, family reunions and solidarity: help us make Tet a celebration of solidarity for students of Vietnam!
In 2026, the Year of the Fire Horse, we invite you to make a concrete gesture of solidarity by supporting our deserving university students. Thanks to your support, they will be able to continue their education and prepare for a bright future!
Sponsor a child today and change a life!
Access to school can be a real challenge for poor children in Southeast Asia. Sponsoring a child is a simple and efficient way to help a child to go to school.
With your financial support, Children of the Mekong will help your sponsored child can continue his/her education without fear of dropping out to go to work. Your letters will also give great encouragement to pursue their schooling despite the hardships of their lives.
