We have added Thoeng District (Chiang Rai Province) and the Muang/Tha Song Yang Districts (Tak Province) to our survey areas. Take a closer look at our interactive map:

After nearly two months of working on UPLift, our criteria for locating households in need has changed accordingly from those used by BRAC in Bangladesh to the environment here in Thailand. We usually look for two or more of the following:
a) Landless households
b) Migrants without full nationality
c) Households with social constraints that prevent them from having normal stability (eg, HIV/AIDS, physical disability, single mothers in communities with cultural stigma)
d) Households that have trouble finding enough food for all of its members.
If you have any questions about UPLift or have comments on how to improve this journal, don't hesitate to send us an email at uplift.khomloy@gmail.com.
