What does my purchase have to do with the Mango Tree School?
At least 5% of our annual profit goes to our passion project, the "Mango Tree School" in Cambodia – with this, we fund the salary of teacher Rithy and the learning materials for over 90 students. A small way to give back to the country where the majority of our products are made.
