Akha Life

Akha Life is a non-profit organization based in Golden Triangle, Thailand. We that works to organize the Akha people in the countryside and to promote international awareness of the issues facing the Akha today. This is necessary because of the dire situation the Akha currently face. There are low rates of education, extreme poverty, lack of land ownership, lack of human rights and a general distrust by the Thai community. To overcome this, we work for cooperation and communication within the Akha community and abroad. In our Life for Environment Project, LE, Foreigners come to learn first-hand our traditional knowledge and lifestyle in order to understand sustainable development. In turn the Akha gain allies in their fight for human rights, assistance in building projects that help them in their daily lives and a source of income to allow them to stay on their land.

If you are interested in understanding the issues facing the Akha and taking part in activities that will assist them, we urge you to take a look at the schedule and make a reservation. For more information, look at the FAQ page.
