Sustainable Laos Education Initiatives is a nonprofit organization, registered under the Ontario Corporations Act, since 2004.  We have been working in Laos in partnership with the Ministry of Education, under the Global Association for People and the Environment (GAPE)'s Memorandum of Understanding.  Like SLEI, GAPE believes that local people have the knowledge, capacity and depth of understanding to make the best decisions regarding their resources, so environmental protection cannot be separated  from protecting local people's livelihoods and rights.
