Based on ADRA Lao’s experience and the participatory assessment, it was determined that year 3 of MKWASH would be used as an opportunity to move into working with some of the poorest villages and households in Xiengkhuang Province, in the areas of health, education and food security. Our Mok Mai Integrated Programme is committed to this cluster of villages in Mok Mai as an integrated area development plan for the next 4 years. Mok Mai District is without electricity, clean water, adequate food sources, and sufficient education and health facilities. Our long-term aim is to positively impact these areas of life by working with the people living there.
