Akha Heritage Textiles
Scaling traditional Akha weaving with natural dyes for the global fashion market.
About This Project
The Akha Heritage Textiles project aims to scale up traditional Akha hill tribe weaving by establishing a modern workshop that preserves ancient techniques while meeting international quality standards. Funds will support 30 Akha weavers with new looms, natural dye facilities, and direct access to global fashion buyers. Our goal is to create sustainable livelihoods while keeping these 800-year-old textile traditions alive for future generations.
