Our story
Vientiane Rescue is the first and only Rescue service of Vientiane, Laos
Thanks to the dedication and amazing commitment of our non-paid volunteers, we are able to provide any kind of emergency services, on a 24/7 basis, for free.
We started in 2010, with a handful of volunteers, most of them underaged. A group of wholehearted people with a lot of hope and expectations, and nothing else. At the time we all met, the Foundation we belong to Continue reading “Our story”

While we sometimes have access to embassy funding, we especially rely on private donations.
We are a local Foundation, not an NGO, so this means that we don’t have administration, logistics, secretaries people or paid staff to handle the fundraising / communication / management.
