Luang Prabang (Laos) - Orphanage School Tour - Western Wellness Yoga

Join Danielle & Stuart Harrison (Founders) of Western Wellness Yoga as we conduct a site tour of the Luang Prabang Orphanage Nursery school located in Luang Prabang Laos. This site tour was conducted as part of the "Giving is living program run by Western Wellness where we support the milk and shoes program for the children of the orphanage. The Orphanage school was opened by an Australian, Andrew Brown in 2019 to operate as an NGO to support the existing government run Luang Prabang Orphanage. The Orphanage currently supports 32 children and 12 staff with plans to increase capacity to 60 children. Lao's population is just 6,800,000 people and approximately 40% of the population live below the poverty line. Most of Lao's population live in rural areas and families rely on farming for their subsistence living. Very few families have access to medical facilities and, as such, the average lifespan of a Loa person is less than 50 years - almost 30 years less than the average western lifespan. Poverty is the leading cause of death in Laos with a variety of diseases prevalent such as, scabies, polio, typhoid, Malaria & whooping cough. Malnutrition also prevents infants from developing the digestive capacity to grow, Westen Wellness currently supports the milk and shoes program whereby we fund the delivery of high fat/protein based milk to the assist infants with develop the digestive capacity and provide shoes to reduce common skin based infections. In 2024 Western Wellness swill raise $6,000 AUD for the above programs to supply milk and shoes for up to 500 children
