About:

Over the years, I have developed quite an international mindset. My bachelor program has taken me to the US as an exchange student, whilst during my master I have studied abroad in Beijing, China. It was at an orphanage in Cambodia during a four-month backpack trip in South East Asia when my aspiration to help third world development solidified. Upon my return in 2011, I decided to combine chairmanship of the Kembé foundation with a master in Finance and investments at Erasmus University Rotterdam. After developing a solid business plan and raising sufficient funds, we traveled to Dehradun in August of 2012 to initiate our project. Construction is currently underway, which I am overseeing as supervisory board member.

 

 

 

Problem:

A profitable model dairy farm, where best practices are used and shown to the local farmers. Once productivity and efficiency is increased through proper nutrition, cross breeding and hygiene, the Kembé Foundation will set up a Dairy Selling Cooperative to guarantee fair prices.
