Description

Nonghet is a remote area surrounded by mountains in the northeast of Laos, close to the border with Vietnam.

About 65% of the population in Nonghet are Hmong people, who are one of the most disadvantaged ethnic groups in Laos.

Laos is the most heavily bombed country, per capita, in history. Unexploded ordnance around Nonghet has left the community in fear and it is difficult to farm and build in new areas.
