Building Financial Sustainabaility
In the non profit sector there are a plethora of amazing causes that need funding! We recognize this as one of the fundamental challenges of the non profit sector.
Accordingly, we have a plan to scale up operations requiring as few initial start up donations as possible. With our first 25,000 we will be purchasing a mobile coffee truck to be staffed by volunteers. The profits from that will fund our initial building of bakeries and farms.
Our Coffee Truck
We are purchasing a truck from Grindhead coffee. They have no franchising fee, an easy to operate machine, and exceptional value, often costing 1-1.50 cost on 7 dollar coffees. Additionally, we can launch our goods there.
The revenue from the truck will allow us to build start up capital for our more expensive bakery project without constantly asking for funding.
Freight Farms
Nikolai’s twin Theo and I recently went to Boston and toured Freight Farms. The soil and land is very depleted in Haiti, but Freight Farm has already crafted a solution to this! Each farm can produce 10 heads of lettuce (as an example) for 100 families every week all year! They are automated and easy to learn to utilize.
Freight Farms is leading the way in developing technologies to feed the world. See more of our tour on our Instagram account!
Sharing Solutions
My son Nikolai has Celiac disease. Gluten free foods are expensive, and not always commonly available. His twin has a peanut allergy, and at school celebrations there are usually peanut free cupcakes, because those are widely available in most chain grocery stores.
Our first project is to set up a gluten free bakery in Haiti to produce a cake and cupcake line widely available in most stores. The proceeds will buy freight farms to address the severe food insecurity in Haiti.
How you can Help
We have an Etsy store and proceeds benefit our project. The painting of two boys in red was painted by Nikolai himself and actually won an art competition and hung for a time at the Met! Other work is our digital branding created by Erin
