The Karen Hilltribes Trust is a community led organisation working with the Karen people living in Mae Hong Son, Thailand’s poorest province. Projects are designed, built and maintained by the communities who receive support, using their local knowledge. Our approach achieves results which are high in impact, low in cost and sustainable. Sadly, 64% of the Karen live below the poverty line, with families surviving on less than £1.50 per day. The vision of the Karen however, is a more self-sufficient future in which they can provide for their own basic needs.
KHT projects focus on three key areas to help overcome these problems: health, sustainable livelihoods and access to education. By taking a community-led approach KHT projects result in positive and sustainable change. By becoming a KHT volunteer you can be a part of this.
