“Without discipline I think everything will fall apart.” - Ted Kwan

By encouraging consumption from these enterprises, funds are directed towards employing marginalized individuals, while customers also benefit from the goods and services offered. Over the years, Ted's initiative has evolved into a social enterprise platform, bringing his dream closer to becoming a reality.
