Niccko, barman by night, future English teacher

At 20, Niccko studies English in Luang Prabang and works every evening. His goal: to become an English teacher for the young people of his region.

Niccko comes from a small village in northern Laos. Today he is 20 and lives in Luang Prabang, where he studies English. Like many of the students NK Seeds supports, he is far from his family.

His days are full. He divides his time between his English studies, his job and his plans for the future. Every evening, he works as a barman.

A plan for his region

Niccko knows what he wants to do: become an English teacher. Not just for himself. In turn, he wants to create more opportunities for the young people of his region.

The road is not easy, and his family is far away. But he remains determined to complete his studies. Thanks to his sponsorship, he can move towards this goal with greater peace of mind.

NK Seeds first introduced Niccko in October 2025. In September 2026, he is the face of “One month, one portrait”, the series in which the association tells a student's story each month.

Every sponsorship opens doors, gives opportunities and changes a life.

Sponsorship in brief

A sponsor supports a student every month, throughout their studies, for 2 to 4 years. Individual sponsorship is €125 a month: it comes down to €42.50 after the 66% tax reduction. You can also sponsor with others, from €20 a month.

Today, 43 students are sponsored by NK Seeds.
