Cooperative Orthotic and Prosthetic Enterprise

COPE highlights and features

With a headquarters in Vientiane, COPE has 5 rehabilitation centres across 8 provinces in Laos, so that victims – mostly children – living in rural areas have access to this crucial healthcare centre. It provides and funds all the medical treatments and also travelling and accommodation costs for all patients.

You can learn more about COPE’s mission through various exhibitions and documentary films showcased in the centre. You can also see how prosthetic limbs are made at the onsite workshop. Check out the exhibit about the problem of UXO in Laos. 

The Karma Cafe is a good place to have a cup of Lao coffee and homemade ice cream during your visit to COPE. There’s also a gift shop, where you can buy shirts and postcards or simply make a donation to this worthwhile cause.
