Welcome to LEOT
 A UK-based charity working to help disadvantaged young people in Laos fulfil their potential.
- Laos is a small landlocked country bordered by Thailand , Vietnam , Cambodia , Burma and China .
- There is very little industry, 80% of the population work on the land, life expectancy rates are low and illiteracy high. Educational opportunities are often very limited and many young people only have 3 years education, from age 8 to 11 .
- Laos ranks among the United Nations 50 Least Developed Countries.
- A large part of the country is still littered with unexploded ordinance from the Vietnam War.
