Daweyu Hills is a coffee and cultural exchange project that connects you with
the Lahu Sheleh people of Northern Thailand
We are a cross-cultural organization working in the village of Doi Mod towards a sustainable and prosperous future
Our overarching belief is that by working together we can enhance the lives of many — both of Doi Mod villagers and outsiders who come to visit. Producing delicious coffee, exchanging culture, sharing ideas for our many projects has also led to some serious fun along the way!
In Lahu Sheleh language, daweyu means welcome, hello, thank you, and goodbye — a phrase full of good will
Cooperative effort is the way of the Lahu
After Doi Mod villagers showed interest in planting coffee on their land, support was offered from Seattle people, USA. Fifteen-thousand coffee seedlings were provided to village families to plant in their own plots. A Kickstarter campaign was launched, to raise money for a coffee roaster, which was then installed on the mountain.
