Based out of Battambang, Kinyei is an organization working with social enterprises to better foster community development in struggling areas throughout Cambodia. Utilizing their social media and volunteer engagement, Kinyee works on a variety of projects that help youth build valuable skills while also providing them with the opportunity to better support their families.
Rather than focusing on volunteer donations, Kinyei aims to train their staff in order to allow the social enterprises grow into a self-sustaining business. However, in order to do this some funding is required in order to provide ideal learning material, training and social enterprise tool kits. According to the company’s website, the projects "will lay the grounds for a lasting culture of entrepreneurship and self-sufficiency among Battambang youth, and a template for social enterprise incubation in similar contexts around the world."
