The Khamphouvong Story
In 1980, the Khamphouvong family escaped Lao PDR, crossing the Mekong River at night to find refuge in a Thailand refugee camp for two years. Impact Beyond Borders hopes to assist Lao escapists to recollect, learn ways document, and share their life altering journeys as a part of new communities.
About 38% of the estimated 7 million Lao population live on less than $2USD/day.
