On 25 December 2024, AEON Leasing Service (Lao) Company Limited gave UXO Lao a donation of 80,000,000 KIP (eighty million kip) to help with the organization’s operations.

The vice president of AEON Leasing Service (Lao) Co., Ltd., Mr. Kazunobu Genda, stated his goal to support UXO Lao. Although this assistance is modest in value, we are happy to support UXO Lao because it is the national humanitarian operator and operates in many provinces. The donation is made from the profits of the company that operates in Laos in 2024, and the company plans to give back its profits to the community. The company understands that the humanitarian UXO action for improving living conditions is one of the targets of our donation. In the upcoming years, the company is happy to continue helping UXO Lao.

Mr. Anousak Phongsa, National Programme Director of UXO Lao, conveyed his gratitude and appreciation to AEON Leasing Service (Lao) Co., Ltd. for the assistance that has been given to UXO Lao since 2022 as well as today with contributions totaling more than 140,000,000 KIP. As far as commercial enterprises go, AEON Lao is the only one in Laos that provided assistance to UXO Lao. These donations are crucial for UXO Lao to carry out its missions, particularly for the explosive ordnance risk education, which aims to lower the number of UXO-related incidents and casualties. UXO Lao hopes that the company would continue to help the future.
