Projects are currently focused on: Disability Inclusion, Explosive Ordnance Risk Education, Capacity Building, and Economic Development. Current projects include:

The USAID Okard (ໂອກາດ) Activity is managed and implemented by World Education (October 2017 – September 2027) together with several partners from government and civil society organizations. The project intends to improve and sustain the independent living and functional ability of persons with disabilities, regardless of factors such as age, sex, gender, ethnicity, and their households in Lao PDR.

It is implemented in four target provinces – Central level, Xieng Khouang, Savannakhet and Sekong. The USAID Okard Activity is committed to achieving results across four main components: Health, Economic Empowerment, Stakeholder Engagement and Community-Based Inclusive Development (CBID) model. USAID Okard supports local government authorities and two civil society organizations, QLA and ARMI, to work together to implement the Community Based Inclusive Development (CBID) model taking tangible actions to remove barriers to inclusion and to support persons with disabilities and their household by providing personalized case management based on their support needs. Case management intends to facilitate access to services and to improve health, functioning, and social participation of Persons with disabilities. It also provides a package of interventions designed to initiate Income Generation Activity (IGA) and to contribute to becoming economically self-sufficient at the household level. CBID is implemented in 5 districts – Nong and Sepone in Savannakhet, Khoun and Kham in Xieng Khouang and Dakcheung in Sekong.
