Life Development Center

The Life Development Center Ministries/Projects

Due to financial shortage we can not maintain all ministries/projects we initiated in the past decade, we are very concerned about “Sustainability” of the organization, the ministry and environment. Sustainability has significant meanings in all areas of life and the nature, it challenges human effort to keep everything balance and sustain. We all know that most of development activities and natural resources conservation are contradicted, most of human development activities are directly generated negative impacts to the nature so we can not neglect the vital of natural resources and environment because natural resources are an essential of all living creatures on the planet earth. If human being too much focus on creating development activities without concern about natural resources destruction, tragedy and natural devastation will retuned to human being and the planet earth not sooner or later. Therefore, keeping balance or to make sustain is very important for all development activities. Sustainability is also covered self-reliance and last long projects.

LDC is relied on outsource financial supports for over a decade and now due to global economy crisis and shortage of support we can no longer depend on out sources supports, we must create some economy sustainable projects to be self-supported organization, we also must help vulnerable tribal communities to be alert and prepare for. Without having economy sustainable projects we can no longer survive and maintain the ministries, if we can not survive many tribal communities projects also will be ceased. For these reasons, we would like to focus on creating environmental friendly incomes generation projects so that we can survive and be able to maintain the project activities last long. The sustainability we are mentioning is concern about the Life Development Center, projects activities and natural resources.

To make these 3 parts sustain we extremely need environmental friendly incomes generation projects, LDC needs secure and sufficient of incomes, villagers also need secure and sufficient incomes and the nature/environment is need protection, creating the projects that benefits to all parts is challenge. The Life Development Center is starting establishing organic and agro-tourism demonstration in tribal communities for two years, but due to shortage of financial support it was not progress as it should, we establish this organic and self-sufficient projects as a demonstration projects for the villagers, and to be LDC sustainable incomes generation projects.

substitute incomes to support their families’ members, and a successful demonstration farm can not change their perceptions and behaviors.  Therefore, we would like to complete this organic demonstration farm to be a complex model for them. In this garden various of organic products both fruits and vegetables as well as relaxing area and cottages to make available for all visitors see details about this project by click the link here…..home stay



We would like to expand environmental friendly incomes generation projects to many other tribal communities because it generates huge benefits to the environment, villagers’ health and community’ economy. It can help improves environment condition, health condition and family economy condition.
We also would like to maintain the existing community groups and children’ development project, as results of our effort, five women’s groups and one local Christian churches leaders’ group have formed and developed as networking. They are very important for transforming the notions and promoting modeling behavior to the communities, we mobilize most of the projects through them, without their help would be impossible for us to reach multitude people in different remote areas we would like to build up their competency and social accountability and enlist them participate in project implementation and evaluation. We encourage them and support them involve in social and environment problems solutions as well as being self-supported church and self-ministering church. To demonstrate God invisible and intangible loves and cares to be visible and tangible loves and cares. Working and developing uneducated and illiterate people are extremely difficult, takes more effort and time. After taking effort for a decade we have learned that some of them are taking a very important role in the community as change agents in the communities. They have made some positive changed in the communities such as promoting gender equality, environment conservation, HIV/AIDS and drug prevention campaign, church development and social accountability (S.A.), co-operate social respond (CSR). The more people involved the more we covered areas and issues, community involvement or social engagement is very important for establishing ownership and sustainable of the projects  

The Life Development Center is supporting different tribal community groups doing different alternative development projects according to their bent and interest. Some are doing hill-tribe handicrafts project, they are producing different tribal handicraft products which you can support them directly by visiting and purchasing their products. Some are doing rice mill project, ecotourism project and day care center project. We are welcome volunteers from around the world to be part of connecting people and building up a wide range of philanthropy networking.  

In each year there are 2-3 volunteer groups from different parts of the world joined our outreach programs, assisting many different tribal communities’ needs. Working together as teams also have encouraged villagers to be part of philanthropy, learning society and networking as well as building up public mind. Many tribal communities in remote areas still needs supports, some areas need clean drinking water, residence, farming land and natural resources conservation projects etc. You can join with us from a few days to a few months.
