Our Vision

UPAYA was born out of a vision I had during my conversations with native tribes in Asia. I observed the detrimental effects of corruption on these people, how tourism only benefited the wealthy, and how the tribes were left in poverty. Our vision is to serve as a bridge for indigenous tribes from around the globe by providing them a platform to share their handicrafts with people worldwide. This way, we can preserve their heritage and keep their culture alive. This is the vision that drives us every day.
