Leiho - Expert Impact

Joey Li & Thuta Khin,

Leiho

Met with Emilie Vanpoperinghe

Leiho is a social enterprise on a mission to improve the quality of life for people experiencing homelessness through smiley bamboo socks, eco-conscious gifts and everyday products. Every purchase helps Leiho fund impact projects and donations of essentials for people without a home and/or facing other challenges.

“Emilie was incredibly insightful in giving us advice around growing a community, sales and marketing. It’s so helpful for us to hear from someone who has been through a similar pathway as us and learn from her journey. On top of that she’s such a lovely person and we are so grateful for her time!”

Joey Li & Thuta Khin, Founder, Leiho

“Being matched with Rob has been a huge help in helping us understand what next steps we need to scale. Sometimes it’s just better hearing things that you might already know but from someone else who’s been through it!”

Joey Li & Thuta Khin, Founder, Leiho
