Project Zomia<\/b> is a fledgling charitable project focused on Upland South and Southeast Asia. Our mission is to promote self-sufficiency<\/b> for the marginalized peoples and projects of the highlands through sustainable and decentralized<\/b> means.<\/p>
We’re utilizing a diverse range of methods such as blockchain-based tech, alternative income sourcing, natural building, renewable energy, and fundraising to help highland communities retain autonomy.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\tHill tribes are routinely discriminated against by lowland governments<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
