Khom Loy Sustainable Agriculture Project

The Future is Now!

A young member of the Mien Hilltribe, whose parents are part of the Khom Loy Development Project, plays on a school playground. He, and many other hilltribe children like him, will have a more certain future as the Khom Loy Development Project expands its services throughout the mountains of Chiang Rai Province in northern Thailand.

A Village on the Move!

SukGasem is one of the resettlement villages in the mountains above Chiang Rai Hilltribe people now call home. Several SukGasem families have begun to participate in the Khom Loy Development Project and now work at pig husbandry, fish farming and cash crop cultivation. Many more are on the waiting list and will become part of the Project as funds become available.

Another Village Joins the Project

SaenDtaw is another tribal resettlement village poised to join the Khom Loy Development Project as funds become available. As with villagers in other such locations, those in SaenDtaw are seeking the means to support themselves and become part of the lowland economy as they must move away from their traditional way of life.

A Little Husbandry Goes a Long Way!

The Khom Loy Development Project has introduced sound animal husbandry practices in various hilltribe villages, and they are already seeing the fruits of their labor. Pigs raised in controlled conditions are healthier and are having larger litters. Participating villagers now have an additional source of food, and are able to consider marketing their animals, as well.
