A Tuk Tuk for the ultra-poor

$2,535 of $1,480 goal

We need a tuk tuk for deliveries to our critically poor farmers who earn less than $2 a day. We provide them with a business-based program

Nationwide

We now have 32 ultra-poor families raising commercially bred chickens in purpose-built coops. In the last 35-day chicken raising round every farmer made a healthy profit, averaging US$21.57.

Many of our ultra-poor farmers more than doubled their monthly income for an extra 1–2 hours work a day.

To assist other critically poor people we need your help.

About us

Ethos Foundation (formally Catalyst Microfranchising) exists to create sustainable social impact in Cambodia & New Zealand. We work in tandem with a Khmer purpose-driven business to ethically source coconuts from small-holder family growers in Cambodia. The coconuts are hand-squeezed to produce artisan fermented coconut oil, creating employment for local women. In NZ our partner Ethos & Co produces premium skincare with the unique coconut oil as the hero ingredient. Together, we support community & conservation initiatives in Cambodia (including children’s lunch programme & seagrass mapping) and we donate skincare products to NZ families with skin conditions & fund ecosystem restoration.

Hi Gerard, hi Hana, its been too long since we shared what we earn with your franchisees. It's not alot, and I wish we could do more, but the least we can do is stretch our month's budget to meet your other kind giver's offer. Having a tight month is a great reminder of keeping things in perspective: its nothing on how hard things must be for your franchisees. You guys do an amazing job, and I feel blessed to be a small part of it. Thankyou so much for reminding us all to share what we are fortunate enough to have :-)
