This project will provide 200 poor Hill Tribe families residing in mountainous resettlement villages in Chiang Rai Province, Thailand, with animals and materials to become financially independent.
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.
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.
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.
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.
