More Information About this Project

Project Needs and Beneficiaries

This project is designed to help alleviate poverty among 200 of the poorest Akha, Lahu and Karen Hill Tribe families living in resettlement zones in Chiang Rai, Thailand. By providing these formerly nomadic families with the means to feed themselves and participate in the market economy through pig husbandry, fish farming and crop cultivation, the project assists in their adjustment to life in mainstream Thailand.

Activities

For just $205 per family, the Khom Loy Project provides Akha, Lahu and Karen Hill Tribe families with pigs, pigpens, fish, ponds, seeds and training to help them feed themselves and generate income as they join Thailand's cash economy.
