Akha Hill, Akha hill tribe products is a community non profit business set up by Mrs. A-Noe Yu-Po, Sie to her friends.

Akha Hill’s directive is to help lift the Akha people of the Hua-Fai Community and Chiang Mai out of poverty.


To give them meaningful work with a good return for that work. Akha.hill and 1st Baan of Silver selling world wide for them.
To get them off the streets and the young out of the bars and "karaoke" red light places.
To have them living and working together as a family in a extended family village environment.

With such abject poverty you see many young girls walking the Bars selling flowers at 2am, by young I mean as soon as they are old enough to walk and say "only 10 Bart Mr". young Mothers of 15 or 16 with a baby on her back selling Hill Tribe Products late at night. Grandmothers with a young child walking the Night Bazaar selling to support her and the child because the Child's parents have died from Aides or some other disease or accident.
To get the children into schools.
Most Akha people have no education at all and can not read or write Thai or English.
