AKHA MA-DE IS A COMMUNITY-BASED PROGRAM THAT HAS BEEN HIRING AKHA WOMEN TO CRAFT CHRISTMAS ORNAMENTS FROM THEIR HOMES IN CHIANG RAI SINCE 2021.
AND NOW, WE ARE TAKING IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL🚀
HERE IS OUR BEAUTIFUL TEAM:

AMA MISHU (Ama means "Mother" in Akha)
Mishu (60) is always on the go, managing her plantation, home, village organization, and family with remarkable strength.
She is a powerful, ever-helpful force, balancing countless responsibilities and truly embodies the strength of Akha women.

ABU JOR (Abu means "Daughter" in Akha)
Jor (28) is a true superwoman, radiating happiness. She brings incredible energy to the group, and Akha Ma-De wouldn’t be what it is today without her.
She is Nicha’s right hand and the mother of a 5-year-old girl.

ABU JAN
Jan (30) is all about determination. She will do whatever it takes to push Akha Ma-De forward.
She is another Jor, learning new skills at lightning speed, and is also the mother of a funny 4-year-old boy.

API MINIUM (Api means "Grandma" in Akha)
Despite her age, Minium (76) remains incredibly active and highly skilled with her hands.
She can work for hours non-stop without lifting her head, sometimes even forgetting to chew her beloved betel. She is Nicha’s grandmother.

ABU ANNA
Anna (36) laughter is contagious, and her positive outlook brings so much to our team.
She is the optimist when challenges arise, providing much-needed comfort and encouragement.

ABU NICHA
Nicha (31) is the initiator of the Akha Ma-De project. Her mission is to be everywhere, radiating the strength of her mother, Mishu.
She carries most of the challenges in bringing Akha Ma-De to where it should be. Born in Asha Village, her roots run deep in the community she serves.

THE GAME-CHANGING IMPACT OF OUR CHRISTMAS ORNAMENTS
The success of our Christmas decorations has truly impacted the lives of these Akha women, whether it's improving their meals, modernizing their homes, or covering additional costs for their children's care.
In 2024, Abu Jor and Abu Jan are working full-time with us.
Ama Mishu, Api Minium, and Abu Anna work according to their availability or strength.
Ama Mishu (on the photo) continues to manage her pineapple and rice fields, for example, while Api Minium, our eldest, works at her own pace.
The 'Abu' ladies are now even able to send money to their families, marking a significant advancement.


MY NAME IS NICHA, THE FOUNDER OF AKHA MA-DE, AND I AM AKHA MYSELF.
Akha Ma-De is a social initiative aimed at positioning Akha women at the forefront of village modernization.
This program holds a special place in my heart since it operates in the very village where I was born.
All profits generated by Akha Ma-De are reinvested in is growth.
Thanks to your support since 2021, Akha Ma-De is on the path to establishing its own Akha factory.

PHUANG MALAI: THE ULTIMATE FAIL-SAFE ETHICAL GIFT CHOICE
Phuang Malais are symbolic Thai gifts that have been traditionally offered for several centuries. They are given as a token of gratitude, respect, and to extend best wishes.
Whether it’s for professional purposes to honor VIP guests or to thank a teacher, offering a Phuang Malai will always be a memorable gift, whether it’s from foreigners to Thais or from Thais to foreigners.
Our premium Phuang Malais are presented in wooden boxes with a glass lid. We also offer more affordably priced Malais to accommodate smaller budgets.
It's a fail-safe gift choice and even more ethical since they are made by our Akha ladies in Chiang Rai
