Back To School (2017) – LAOS

Project Detailsx

Project Overviewx

In Laos, 23.3% of its people live below their national poverty line, according to the World Bank. Many families are unable to afford adequate clothing. Since 2016 we have donated more than 3,000 pairs of shoes to Laos through the LaoMyHome Foundation which has been extended from the year 2017 until now.

Our CSR activities were initiated from a newspaper article reporting about how poor children in Laos walk barefoot or wear ill-fitting shoes to school. We believe that a new pair of shoes can be life-changing for kids in need.

Since 2016, we have given out close to 21,000 pairs of ABARO school shoes to poor and needy children in Laos through corporate partnerships and our corporate social responsibility initiative. We have been donating school shoes to schoolchildren from poor families under our “Back To School” projects.
