On the 30th July 2023 we'd raised £2,270 with 37 supporters in 42 days. But as every pound matters, we're continuing to collect donations from supporters.
Petit Village was founded in 2021 by siblings Saul and Vigmar, originally from the Dominican Republic and from a farming family. In 2012, their father began cultivating avocados, which take a minimum of 5 years to produce.
In 2017 they saw the first harvest of avocados and began selling to intermediary companies operating in the UK and Europe. They were shocked when they discovered the low prices farmers were being paid for their avocados and to find that some were not getting any income at all.
Petit Village was founded to address this issue. Our mission is to help and empower small farmers from developing countries. We hope to provide them with the support they need to compete in the market and get a fair price for their produce. Additionally, we hope to be a place for affordable, nutritious and fresh exotic produce for the UK public.
We have been open for over a year and have received incredible feedback from our customers but now we need your help. This year has been very challenging for a small independent business like us with the raising cost of our produce and utilities bills.
In order to remain open and keep providing fresh and affordable produce to our local people we need to raise £10,000 to open a kitchen.
We will use the kitchen to prepare healthy and affordable grab-and-go food, with the limited healthy option that is currently available around Deptford we are committed change that.
Every contribution, no matter how small, brings us one step closer to our goal. So please, join us in this important mission. Together, we can make a real difference in the world and help to build a brighter, healthier future for all.
Thank you for your generosity and support.
