Our mission: Donation Based and Debt Crowdfunding and E-Commerce
Welcome to our collection of uplifting success stories that showcase the power of your contributions to sports development in Lao PDR. Through our crowdfunding initiative, we've been able to support and inspire young athletes from rural areas who have made remarkable strides in their sports careers. These stories highlight the transformative impact of community-backed funding on individual lives and the broader sports culture in Laos.
Background: Manichan, hailing from a remote village in Savannakhet, grew up playing soccer with makeshift balls crafted from old clothes. Despite her undeniable talent, opportunities to refine her skills were severely limited by the lack of adequate facilities and training programs in her area.
How We Helped: Our crowdfunding platform enabled Manichan to enroll in a prestigious sports academy in Vientiane. Donations covered her training fees, equipment, and living expenses, providing her the opportunity to train under experienced coaches and participate in competitive matches.
Impact: Manichan quickly rose through the ranks, and her outstanding performance in national tournaments caught the eye of national team scouts. Today, she proudly represents Laos in international women’s soccer tournaments, becoming a source of inspiration for young girls nationwide.
Manichan’s Words: "Every goal I score is a tribute to those who believed in me and supported my journey. Thank you for changing my game and my life."
Background: Seng was introduced to badminton at his school in Luang Prabang. Despite showing early promise, the lack of professional coaching and competition in rural Laos meant his skills were mostly self-taught and underdeveloped.
How We Helped: Funding from our donors supported Seng’s transition to a specialized sports training center in Vientiane, where he underwent intensive training regimes and competed against high-caliber athletes, dramatically improving his gameplay.
Impact: Seng now competes internationally and has won multiple medals in regional tournaments. Beyond his personal achievements, he is also passionate about coaching the next generation of players in Laos.
Seng’s Words: "Thanks to your support, I've transformed from a hopeful boy with a racket to an international player setting sights on world championships."
Background: Growing up near the Mekong River in Champasak, Noi's swimming skills were honed in natural waters, but she had never participated in a formal competition due to the absence of training facilities in her region.
How We Helped: Contributions from our crowdfunding campaign allowed Noi to move to a city with access to Olympic-sized pools and professional coaching. Your generosity covered her training, travel, and competition costs.
Impact: Noi has excelled in the national swimming circuits and is currently training to qualify for the upcoming Olympic Games, aiming to put Lao PDR on the international sports map.
Noi’s Words: "My dream of swimming in the Olympics is now within reach. Thank you for making the impossible, possible."
