Mission Statement
HPP Laos’ mission is to work in partnership with disadvantaged communities, empowering them to mobilise each other and work together, with the vision of achieving the change they desire for their community.HPP Laos’ work is based on the ethos of solidary humanism which empowers people to drive their own development and ensures they lead all decision making, implementation and ongoing evaluation activities. We believe that poverty can be overcome through coordinated community-wide approaches combining livelihood improvements, increased production, health and disease prevention, women’s empowerment and environmental protection. Through capacity building and technical support, the organisations provide a platform through which people can coordinate development goals with the government and other partners.
