Save Lives, Save Laos

Staying & working from home we were thinking how to best support the local community in these difficult times and so we came up with the following idea:

Masks save lives !
So how about producing face masks promoting Laos and “laoness” !

– As the masks are produced locally, it creates employment (and saves lives in the process) !
– Wearing masks save lives !
– And with all proceeds being donated to the Solidarity Canteen in Luang Prabang (read more here), we shall save even more lives !

Based on our earlier survey we started with the production of the 4 most chosen masks !

Please help us to save lives and order your masks here:
