LUANG PRABANG DEAF&MUTE COMMUNITY
SUPPORT SUSTAINABLE TOURISM, PROFESSIONAL TRAINING, AND THE DEAF COMMUNITY

The Luang Prabang Special Education School gives to deaf children the opportunity to receive an education, and to learn a job in order to have a better professional integration. Thus, they are trained for weaving, dressmaking, carpentry, mechanic and for the catering sector. To value their work, and promote their apprenticeship, the centre has developped businesses.

The origins of the project
A place for the deaf&mutes
Eleven years ago, the Sisters of Charity opened a school in Luang Prabang for the deaf&mutes children. They came from all north Laos to attend school and receive a proper education. Nowadays, eighty children from 7 to 20 are residents there.

To complete their education, and insure their future, the Sisters of Charity have opened a three-year professional training program for the older students. At the end of their formation, they aim to be skilled enough to be employed and be independant.
Business and professional training
A support to their learning
To support the community work and promote the deaf&mutes training, the centre has launched businesses on place. As the young learn weaving, dressmaking, carpentry, catering and mechanic, a handicraft shop, a garage and a coffee place welcome visitors.
Those social businesses are also complementary ressources, as the community intend to be self-sufficient.
The handicraft activity is working BtoB and BtoC. Visitors can stop by the shop, and local companies can order handicrafts.
The garage is dedicated to bicycles and motorcycles.
The coffee serves beverages, snacks and "homemade food" at lunch time.
