Why this Project is Important
Potential Long Term Impact
The Khom Loy Project will make it possible for 200 Hill Tribe families to feed themselves by engaging in animal husbandry and cash crop cultivation as they adjust to life in permanent settlements and interact with the lowland Thai market econony.
Project Message
Hill tribe villagers are proud and anxious to assume responsibility for their own destiny as they enter lowland Thai society. With a little help from Khom Loy, they will achieve their goal.
