Sponsorship is born: from 15 to 60 pupils in 2023

It was a long-awaited project. In February 2023, NK Seeds began sponsoring children and students. A month later, when the association announced it, around fifteen children in need were already sponsored. This project is especially close to its heart: every day, the team sees how much it can change lives.

Sponsorship moved fast. By the end of March, 32 children were sponsored in northern Laos. By early May there were 35, spread over several villages less than an hour's drive from Luang Prabang. Every month, the team visits the sponsored children to hand over the monthly donation.

In May 2023, the programme expanded to Muang Xon, in Houaphan province, in north-eastern Laos. Lia is in charge of the project there. The region is particularly remote. Families live mainly from farming and grow rice. Many children have to leave school to work in the rice fields, and poverty is passed down from one generation to the next.

Sponsorship guarantees access to school and supports families day to day. By October, 18 children in Muang Xon were already going to school every day thanks to it.

At the end of November, the year's results were clear: child and student sponsorship allows 60 pupils to attend school in their villages, and helps their families day to day. To mark this growth, NK Seeds unveiled a new logo. Thanks to zo_tattooo for bringing its ideas to life. Thank you to all the godmothers and godfathers who make this possible.
