School Statistics

Number of Students: 726 | 74% Low Income | 100% Minority

Current Conditions

Located in a very poor commune of Mu Cang Chai where 70% of population living under poverty line and 100% of population is Mong ethnic minority. School has 80% students from low-income families and 250 low-income students attending semi-boarding school. Their village is located over 10 kilometers away from the nearest school. They have to commute through a series of very steep and rugged hills to school. Therefore, they are allowed to stay overnight during the school days.
First campaign for Lao Chai Elementary School was focused on transforming the new library into an inviting environment for improving reading, writing, and speaking skills for ethic minority groups.

ASK [What BeCause will support]

As part of 2019 Charity Mission, BeCause will provide school supplies, blankets and mats to keep the students to stay warm at night.
