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 TNLP’s 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.
