Situated in Vientiane, COPE, or Cooperative Orthotic and Prosthetic Enterprise, exemplifies the strength and resilience of Lao bomb survivors amidst the shadows of war. Established in 1997, COPE provides vital prosthetic, orthotic, and rehabilitation services to those bearing the scars of unexploded ordnance (UXO), a devastating legacy of conflict. With empathy and dedication, COPE's mission extends beyond physical aid, offering continuous support and education to affected communities. This transformative care turns pain into strength, restoring dignity and mobility. Visiting the COPE Visitor Centre, one encounters powerful stories of survival and recovery, a stark reminder of war's cruelty and the incredible resilience of its victims. Through COPE's efforts, these hidden heroes triumph over their harrowing past, inspiring others with their enduring spirit.
