Our Mission:

History of Lao Family


In 1977 General Vang Pao and his committee founded the first Lao Family Community Based Organization in Santa Ana, California. The purpose of Lao Family Community is to empower the South East Asian refugee communities with the knowledge and skills in making positive changes in their transition to becoming self-sufficient. Today, there are eight Lao Family Organization nation wide. Each Lao Family is incorporated under the federal tax exemption code 501 (c)(3).
