Brooklyn Bridge To Cambodia

Description

• BB2C, a U.S. 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, founded in 2007, grew out of our efforts to assist one family in Cambodia. In 2003, Founder Paula Shirk adopted her son, Rudi, from Cambodia. After learning that his birth family was living in crushing poverty, she helped them start a small business in the local market. With the goal of promoting entrepreneurship on a wider scale, BB2C now provides developmental aid to poor Cambodian farmers.Through our innovative agricultural tools, which include the Rudi Khmer Pump and Eli Rice Seeder, we offer our customers highly profitable and productive business opportunities. Farmers use our water pumps so they can irrigate and diversify their crops, sell the surplus, and have a means to escape poverty. Our new addition to the product line, the Eli Seeder, is a rice planter that does away with backbreaking work carried out by women, which involves bending over all day in rice paddies during the rice planting season. A Oxfam agricultural specialist remarked, Your rice planter will change the future of rice planting in Cambodia, and beyond. BB2C is a social enterprise that partners with the poorest farmers, the majority of whom are women. We embed ourselves in the communities we work with to understand the farmers situation and provide solutions borne out of participation. This approach allows us to provide cutting edge products that improves the lives of farmers and helps break the trappings of generational poverty. We listen, learn, educate. We invest, employ and nurture local talent, build the capacity of our local manufacturing partners, harnessing their knowledge to find practical solutions to the challenges the farmers face. We respect and admire farmers and we believe we can help empower them in their economic development. We believe in Cambodian ingenuity; we believe in their resourcefulness.
