About Rural Schools and Educational Development
Since 2015, Thong has been supporting schools in regional Laos using donations from our river cruising business and generous supporters.
Tanvamekong team was visited three local schools to deliver essential supplies. Australian donors joined us for a school visit.
We would like to express our deepest gratitude to all of our valued customers for your trust and support over the years. Every journey you take with us means more than you can imagine. Through your support, Tanva Mekong Cruises and our team donate a portion of our revenue to alleviate hardship for struggling families and provide scholarships to underprivileged children. We promise to keep this commitment alive—serving as a bridge for social welfare and standing alongside those in need.
About Our Charity Work
Working alongside four local foundations, we visit remote rural villages—especially across northern Laos and along the Mekong River—to reach children and families lacking basic necessities. Many of these communities face severe shortages of clean drinking water, electricity, adequate school supplies, uniforms, winter clothing, blankets, and dry food. There are still many isolated villages in the mountains that urgently need help.
To address these needs, our initiative focuses on several key areas:
-
Installing groundwater systems to provide clean drinking water for schools
-
Providing educational scholarships and school supplies
-
Installing electrical infrastructure for classrooms
-
Distributing dry food supplies, winter clothing, blankets, and bedding.
Why We Started This Project
During my years working as an English speaking tour guide, I witnessed first-hand the daily struggles faced by people living in remote mountain villages. I also spent time volunteering to help local teachers instruct children in English. These experiences inspired us to establish our charitable mission.
We firmly believe that every child—regardless of where they were born—deserves the same opportunities to learn, grow, and thrive.
💗 Thank you for being part of our journey, creating smiles, and bringing hope to those who need it most.
