About ADRA Laos
ADRA Laos, improving quality of life in Lao PDR since 1991.
From 1964 to 1973, the US dropped more than 2 million tons of ordnance on Lao PDR during 580,000 bombing missions. That is equal to a planeload of bombs every 8 minutes, 24 hours a day, for 9 years. This makes Lao PDR the most heavily bombed country per capita in history!
ADRA has been operating in Lao PDR since 1991 and has been registered with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs since July 1992. ADRA aims to build the capacity of the communities in which we work to ensure a bright future for all.
