Transcription:

English is so essential to a child living in rural Cambodia.
It means they can go to the city, they can become interpreters, or tour guides, start their own business, they can interact on an equal level with expats and foreigners.

I wanted to create a social enterprise that would help a charity I started called BabyTree Projects, continue it's really important work.

My name is Koky and I am the founder of BeeKeeper.

BeeKeeper is a business that aims to inspire change in the world.
We do that by creating products that tackle some of the world's biggest environmental problems and also tackle illiteracy in children in rural Cambodia.

We have developed a backpack that uses recycled shirts. We upcycle them into durable backpacks.

Each backpack that gets sold will send a child to English School for one whole year.

We are now ready to launch it. We need to raise $15,000 dollars to begin a production run. And we are going to run it through a crowdfunding campaign. Through the Indiegogo platform.

We need 250 pledges or orders to make it work.
I am hopeful that we are going to get there.
