The Nasi Lemak Project Volunteering started without any kick start

Hey there everyone....!!!!

When I was talking with my fellow volunteers in social media, they told me about
this NGO which was started by 2 university students as a volunteering program
and so I decided to share about this wonderful NGO in my blog so that many
could read about this NGO could get benefit from them as well as be a part of
this NGO in helping them or by being their volunteer. Have fun reading about this
NGO everyone..!!!!
The Nasi Lemak Project
The Nasi Lemak Project (TNLP) is a for-profit, highly scalable social business who
cultivates poor families to be small Nasi Lemak & food enterprises through
micro capital, support and market creation through micro franchise model. The
profits are channeled to create more poor family enterprises, to sustain TNLPs
non-profit works, and to create more social enterprises to alleviate poverty.
The founders non-profit social impact work is continuous throughout the year,
such as Street Ranger Movement, Project Edurangers and Lepak Library. Some of
the impact projects are for-profit and self sustainable, such as Foodapreneurs
Accelerator, Pixel Garage, Unemployment Lab, Suka Seni and Stingarden
Theatre Project in which profits are reinvested to scale the projects, and to
create more future social entrepreneurship projects.
The Headquarters is a young and friendly two-storey house in Batu Caves. The
Headquarters is an open space for anyone to share ideas, create new impact
projects and be their partners in making Malaysia a better place to live with
free flow of energy and Nasi Lemak.
