When Sophia passed away in 2012, her brother Koky vowed to fulfill her wish of starting a business with the funds from the car she left him in her will that would motivate positive change and support "BabyTree Projects", a charity they created together to fight for children's rights and make quality education accessible for every child in rural areas.
In 2014, the Sophia Saly School emerged in a coastal village near the sea in Cambodia, and the BabyTree Project became Beekeeper Parade—a social business that creates Eco-friendly products with love and commitment for both human and animal life.
“The promise between a Brother and Sister is much more powerful, than any grief, loss or obstacle that the world can throw at you.”
Backpacks and other accessories crafted with an eye for sustainability are created using discarded fabrics, remnants, donated designer textiles and clothes of the highest quality at affordable prices. With their incredible efforts, Beekeeper Parade has prevented nearly 52 tons of fabric waste from polluting our environment. Had it gone to landfills, these materials would have taken over 200 years to decompose and would have continued causing destruction to our planet.
Beekeeper Parade is motivating us to do more and “BEE MORE”!
By buying one of their up-cycled original pieces you are reducing the amount of waste that gets produced, contributing to the environment's well-being, and at the same time supporting education for children in rural Cambodia.
“It’s everyone’s responsibility to take care of the planet. Our only home.”
