We believe in providing challenging the status quo of ineffective development aid for the ultra-poor and we believe in providing them with an equal chance.

We challenge the status quo by providing the poor with access to profitable franchise businesses and we measure their cash profit and savings to ensure it works.

Poor villagers can quadruple their net income and increase their savings by 46 times. Catalyst franchisees transform into self-reliant people empowered to dream of a new future.

More about us

We empower ultra-poor rural Cambodians to run their own successful small-scale poultry enterprise to stabilize and increase their income so they can meet their basic needs. Microfranchisees in our programme receive ongoing support and access to outside markets to achieve profitability. This enables them to work towards a stable, sustainable future and plan beyond day to day survival.
