💫 Fate led me to the Akha people, first as a guest, then as a partner to an Akha woman, and eventually as co-founder of Akha Ma-De, a program creating jobs in the village that welcomed me.🔨 Since 2021, I’ve dedicated most of my energy to seeking markets to lift this community out of poverty. And today, we are finally building a factory. It’s a one-of-a-kind space that merges the magic of Christmas with the rich, vibrant culture of the Akha.8 Akha women (and soon, many more) will produce cotton Christmas decorations, host guests for a night, offer their amazing tribal cuisine, and provide a library for the kids 📚.You can become a sponsor of this factory until the end of 2024, which will be a game changer for the Akha community.
