More than 10% of Cambodian children suffer from moderate and severe acute malnutrition. However, Danish Care Foods’ innovative therapeutic food, Nutrix, is a significant milestone in the Cambodian government’s mission to treat at least 25,000 children with severe acute malnutrition annually.
Danish Care Foods (DCF) is dedicated to improving nutrition and health for children and women in Cambodia.The impact loan we have provided will provide essential operating capital and enable them to expand their operations effectively.It will contribute to is the supply of ready-to-use therapeutic food (RUTF) products to over 1,000 children in three Cambodian provinces.
Sarvaguna Foods and Kitchen is a social business from Nepal whose vision is to bring “inclusion for good food” to the local community, particularly to public schools’ students from underprivileged families.
Their goal is to ensure that every child, regardless of their background, has access to nutritious meals that support their growth and development.
They use the profit from their work in private schools to fund healthy meals for 1,500 students from families with limited resources. Additionally they have sustainable sourcing of raw materials from over 10,000 local farmers providing employment opportunities and strengthening the local economy.
In Cambodia, only 26% of SMEs are owned by women. Leaders for Good have partnered with SHE and ygap to fund a startup accelerator to enable women entrepreneurs to scale their businesses and make a positive impact on their communities. Beyond training and support, we’ll also provide critical early-stage funding to help these entrepreneurs take their next step.
We are funding a growth plan for Doga Artisans, a small business that works with women in isolated Papua New Guinea villages to help them earn an income by making traditional bags called bilums. Doga aims to empower these women through financial independence, so they can access education and medical supplies and have more support in the face of gender-based violence.
