Among many factors, HJA is known for its Volunteer Internship Program. It’s here where our volunteers are able to work closely with partnered NPA’s within their own communities in order to develop corporate skills. HJA is capable of maintaining these

In 2007, HJA established the Lao PDR’s first national youth volunteering program, focusing on volunteers from rural areas and ethnic minorities aged between 18 and 25. The program provides opportunities for Lao youth to work as volunteers for twelve months with selected partner organisations engaged in community work, gaining skills and experience they can use for both their own and their communities growth and development. Over the past ten years, HJA has actively supported over 75 volunteers and have worked with thirty partner organisations in all parts the country. Through its volunteers, the program has improved the lives of over 1,000 Lao people living in rural or disadvantaged communities.
