This loan helped to buy organic hen and organic feed for them.
Milo's Story
Mito is a 45-year-old member of the Akha tribe living in Wawee Village in the hills of Northern Thailand, near the Myanmar border. She is using this loan to buy 800 organic hen and organic feed to produce organic free-range eggs for Hilltribe Organics (HTO), the social enterprise which created the market for organic free-range eggs in Thailand, using organic agriculture to help poor farmers like Mito out of poverty. Before she started with HTO, she was growing conventional vegetables on her family land and was barely able to make ends meet. Caring for her hens and selling their eggs provides her and her family continuous monthly income and allows her to have a respectable life.
