Our Mission

We are a not-for-profit organization whose mission is to improve the living standards of rural populations in Northern Thailand and far-western Nepal.

Our work is conducted through the understanding of culture, norms, behavior, deliberate discussions, involvement of the local population, and the application of practical social/scientific methods.

Currently, we are working in 2 villages – one in Chiang Mai, Thailand and another in Bajhang, Nepal in the areas of eco-tourism, education and health.
