Akha Heritage Foundation

Web       http://www.akha.org/

We work to protect the human rights of the Akha people in Thailand, Laos, Myanmar, China and Vietnam. Our work includes protection for Akha language and culture, defending land rights, ending abuses by security forces, preventing the removal of Akha children, improving health care and providing clean water systems. We are joined by volunteers from around the world, and we also encourage people to share the work by starting their own projects to bolster the Akha cause. You can join us in person or on the net, or help in an Akha village.
