In an effort to support the Government of Laos to reduce the transmission of dengue and other mosquito borne diseases in Vientiane and dengue hotspots in Laos, the Australian Government, the Gillespie Foundation, Save the Children International (SCI) in Laos and the World Mosquito Program (WMP) will invest AUD3.7 million to scale up an exciting Australian innovation.

Ensuring the health and well-being of everyone is crucial for the development of a nation.

One of Laos' strengths, besides its natural resources, is its young population, making up more than 60 percent of the total population. They have the potential to contribute to the country's development and hold the nation’s future in their hands.

The $28.2 million health-focused project will reach over a quarter of the country’s population.
