September 2026 / Back to school in Laos
In September, schools in Laos reopened, marking the beginning of a new school year for many of the children and young people we support.
Yesterday, we received some wonderful photos from Laos that we would love to share with you. They offer a glimpse into the children’s daily lives and the different projects we support on the ground.
In the photos, you can see Pasia on her way to school, children and young people from our Secondary School Programme, as well as impressions from our Egg & Milk Programme, which helps provide the children with regular and nutritious meals.
These images are always very special to us. They capture more than individual moments – they show what continuous support can make possible: education, nutrition and, ultimately, better opportunities for the future.
Together with our local partners, and thanks to your support, we are able to accompany these children on their journey and provide them with long-term support.
We wish all the children a wonderful start to the new school year and look forward to continuing to support them throughout the year ahead.
News from India
Udaipur, Rajasthan | June 2026
The Greensole Foundation celebrated its 10th anniversary in Udaipur together with partners, supporters and members of the local community, reaffirming its long-term commitment to creating sustainable social impact.
As part of the celebrations, around 150 educational and support kits were distributed to 123 students at a government school. The Foundation also presented its Annual Report 2025–26.
Another special moment was the announcement of a long-term scholarship initiative by the family of co-founder Shriyans Bhandari, aimed at supporting dedicated and high-achieving students and opening up further opportunities for their future.
The anniversary not only marks ten years of commitment and impact, but also looks firmly ahead: towards creating opportunities for even more young people and supporting more communities in a sustainable and lasting way.
On 20 July 2026, our coordinator in Jharkhand organised a TASNA donation drive to support children and families in the local community.
We very much hope to be personally on site again for our second Donation Drive in the Mumbai region. It means a great deal to us to meet the children and our local partners in person and to experience first-hand the difference we can make together, thanks to your support.

Nutrition program at the ethnic school in Nambak. Twice a week, we finance a hot meal for 520 children and teenagers, both morning and evening.
Scholarships: We are funding the university studies or vocational training of 66 young people in Luang Prabang. The cost is USD 670 per young person per year.
Nursery in Luang Prabang: Children aged 0-6 from remote villages, some of whom are orphans or require medical care they couldn’t access in their villages, find a home here. This year, we are able to provide a home for 11 children in the nursery.
Secondary school program: in the first half of 2026, we offer 51 children and in the second half of 2026 a total of 69 children the opportunity to attend secondary school instead of working in the fields after primary school.
Pasia: 15-year-old Pasia desperately wanted to go to school! However, her village was too far from a secondary school. We built her a small hut next to the school and finance her life away from her family.
