They are in the process of launching their first food stall in Quezon City, Metro Manila and have started an [IndieGoGo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aidriven-financial-education-game) campaign in order to raise the money they need. At the moment, they have raised just over 30% of their overall goal, which is $24,000. Could you contribute to make it happen? Hamlet doesn't merely have a social goal. They also work to provide meat products that are free of artificial preservatives. They offer sausage buns, burgers and dumplings. Some of the prizes for IndieGoGo donations include plush toys, postcards and e-cookbooks. **Contact Information** Hamlet Foods on [IndieGogo](https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/bet-on-hamlet) Hamlet on [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/hamletGK) Hamlet on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/HamletGK) Hamlet on [Vimeo](http://vimeo.com/user26640269) ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 23% | Activity: 77% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Social Good](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialgood) > [Social Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialbusiness) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Social Enterprise Food Stalls:** Opportunity to disrupt traditional food businesses by empowering the poor through social enterprises. - **Artificial Preservative-free Meat Products:** Disruptive potential in the food industry by offering healthier alternatives to conventional meat products. - **Crowdfunding for Social Causes:** Disruptive opportunity to support social enterprises through crowdfunding platforms like IndieGoGo. ### Where This Applies - **Food and Beverage:** Opportunity for food establishments to adopt social enterprise models and emphasize healthy, preservative-free options. - **Nonprofit and Social Impact:** Opportunity for nonprofit organizations to collaborate with social enterprises in empowering marginalized communities. - **Crowdfunding:** Opportunity for crowdfunding platforms and initiatives to focus on supporting social causes and community development. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Social Good Pastry Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/action-against-hunger-and-walls-pastry.md) - [Crowdfunded Alternative Bacon Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hooray-foods.md) - [Singaporean Cultivated Chicken Stalls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hawker-stall.md) - [Accessible Healthy Food Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/healthy-food-initiative.md) - [Student Nutrition-Supporting Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/student-nutrition.md) - [Upcycled Animal Feeds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/do-good-foods.md) - [Eco-Friendly Chicken Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carbon-reduced-chicken.md) - [Social Good Ready Meals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sainsburys-italian-style-ready-meals.md) - [Plant-Based Ham Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phamacy.md)
