Welcome to MOMOBOOKS

MOMOBOOKS is an independent publisher of language-learning texts in the Lao PDR and is out to prove that the love of books and the desire for knowledge are universal. Books are astonishingly rare in Laos and the local publishing industry is struggling against great odds. Lao students deserve books, but somebody has to make them and someone has to sell them.

Martin Momoda is conducting this experiment in social entrepreneurship with the intent to make educational development sustainable. The project is growing quickly. The first books were printed in September 2008 and 30,000 books sold so far, proving that there is a strong demand for culturally relevant and affordable books in Laos
