World Education, Inc.

UXO Education and Awareness Project   (2011 - 2013)
Unexploded ordnance (UXO) - bombs and ammunition that have not exploded - have caused thousands of deaths and injuries, and continue to pose major threats to farmers and children living in rural Laos. With support from the US Department of State's Office of Weapons Removal and Abatement, World Education developed a UXO awareness curriculum for primary schools. World Education also trains teachers through the national teacher-training program to use effective, child-centered teaching methods to help children learn important lessons about UXO injury prevention.

The UXO curriculum is taught is used in 1,920 schools in the most heavily UXO contaminated areas of Laos, reaching 190,000 school children. 6,100 teachers and school administrators have been trained in the use of the curriculum.
