The Akha Heritage Foundation
|
| |
| Objectives |
Founded in 1991, the Akha Heritage Foundation is a not-for-profit, non-religious or political, grassroots organization working in northern Thailand, Myanmar, Laos and China. The Akha Heritage Foundation seeks to defend culture, human rights and promote self determination for the Akha in what has been a very exploitive environment. We believe that the security and well-being of Akha communities must take priority over "development" by outside interests.
