Through our child sponsorship programme, Children of the Mekong responds to the high risk of school dropout among ethnic minorities and in rural areas.

• We support children’s education for mountain-dwelling minority communities by building schools for primary education in the mountains. Then, we run boarding houses close to secondary and high schools in larger towns, so the children can continue their education.
• We support very poor families, economically and socially, mainly in the province of Isan. Child sponsorship supports the families economically and lets the sponsored children pursue their school curriculum in public schools (transportation, school supplies…). 

Ad hoc projects such as construction and renovation of centres, allow the improvement of the living and studying conditions of the sponsored children. 

Children of the Mekong also supports vulnerable population groups in the slums, refugee camps and illegal migrants.
