Briefing
We’re honored to be among the 50 global initiatives selected by Youth4Climate program, funded by Italian Ministry of Environment and Energy Security, through UNDP Rome Center for our project “Preserving Pù Luông’s Rice Culture through Water Management in the Tourism Sector”!
This project is a heartfelt attempt to preserve the rice-growing heritage of the Thai people in Don Village, connecting sustainable tourism with water wisdom. Through capacity-building workshops, a pilot water-circulated homestay, and a cultural exhibition, we aim to reconnect people to the roots of rice—through stories, soil, and shared responsibility.
