About the project
The Life Development Center is a non-profit organization established in March 1994. Its purpose is to help to improve vulnerable and marginalized tribal people’s livelihoods. We also improve the environment condition in the north of Thailand and along the Thai-Burma borders by promoting and supporting projects that generate environmentally friendly sustainable incomes.
We are a small local NGO and don’t have a main donor to support us. Therefore, we are making a great effort to be a self-reliant organization by creating different environmentally friendly income generation projects. The Life Development Center has ongoing projects which have been pending for funding for many years, such as: developing our organic farm, a community services learning and development center, resource and training center and supporting different tribal communities.

Tina –
My stay at the Life Development Center with Manop and Anna was short but very intense. Within a few days I could gain deep insights into their lives, as well as their different projects and the beautiful country of Thailand. It was an incredible experience, part of my heart definitely stayed at the Life Development Center. I’m sure it won’t be my last time visiting!
Since 20 years the NGO helps local tribes with different sustainable projects. Be it access to clean drinking water, biological farming or building biogas plants. At the same time, these two work very hard on maintaining their own ecological farm. You directly stay with Manop and Anna and they don’t shy away from cooking an excellent meal for you. No matter what, they will welcome you with open arms and are more than happy for any kind of support. A big thank you to Socialbnb, without them I would have never discovered the Life Development Center!
