The Mae Fah Luang Foundation is a Thai non‐profit organization that manages numerous projects within Thailand as well as other countries in Asia. The Foundation’s mission focuses on three main areas: “improving social and economic development, preserving the environment, and supporting local art and culture.” In 1972, the late Her Royal Highness Princess Srinagarindra , grandmother of the present King of Thailand, founded the Thai Hill Crafts Foundation to offer market access for craft-making villages in the Northern highlands. It was later renamed the Mae Fah Luang Foundation in 1985, after the name given to the Princess Mother by the ethnic minorities, meaning “royal mother from the sky.” The new name indicates the growing scope of social development efforts the Foundation was assuming based on the ideas and philosophy of the Princess Mother. In 1988, the MFLF initiated its flagship project in Doi Tung, Chiang Rai, with the goal of providing people with sustainable livelihoods. The MFLF developed the Sustainable Alternative Livelihood Development model, which emphasizes thorough understanding of the needs of the local people and their socio-geographical realities, as well as integration and involvement of all levels. This model has been replicated in its projects in Thailand, Myanmar, Afghanistan, and Indonesia.
