Koky and Beekeeper - A business to inpsire change

0:10 - 0:14

English is so essential to a child living in rural Cambodia.
0:14 - 0:16

It means they can go to the city,
0:17 - 0:21

they can become interpreters, or tour guides, start their own business,
0:21 - 0:25

they can interact on an equal level with expats and foreigners.
0:25 - 0:30

I wanted to create a social enterprise that would help a charity I started
0:30 - 0:35

called BabyTree Projects, continue it's really important work.
0:35 - 0:39

0:50 - 0:56

BeeKeeper is a business that aims to inspire change in the world.
0:56 - 1:00

We do that by creating products that tackle
1:00 - 1:03

some of the world's biggest environmental problems
1:03 - 1:08

and also tackle illiteracy in children in rural Cambodia.
1:13 - 1:17

We have developed a backpack that uses recycled shirts.
1:17 - 1:21

We upcycle them into durable backpacks.
1:21 - 1:28

Each backpack that gets sold will send a child to English School for one whole year.
1:34 - 1:36

We are now ready to launch it.
1:37 - 1:42

We need to raise $15,000 dollars to begin a production run.
1:42 - 1:46

And we are going to run it through a crowdfunding campaign.
1:46 - 1:48

Through the Indiegogo platform.
1:48 - 1:52

We need 250 pledges or orders to make it work.
1:52 - 1:55

I am hopeful that we are going to get there.
1:57 - 2:02
