Social Project
Jady Donky Handicraft Production
The project embarked on its mission in the spring of 2011 in Kathmandu as a pioneering social project. Designed to empower Nepali women by imparting essential skills in logical thinking and practical proficiency through knitting training, our initiative served as a precursor to understanding the local culture before establishing our business. Presently, we are gearing up to relaunch our workshop in new locations across Nepal, continuing our commitment to women’s empowerment and skill development.
Business Project
Around the Corner Restaurant
2014.4.1 – 2015.7.15
The restaurant debuted in April 2014 within the serene confines of Standard Nursery in Kathmandu. Boasting a family-friendly atmosphere, it served as a charming garden restaurant, event venue, and hub for farm products. Regrettably, its doors shuttered in August 2015, succumbing to the harsh realities of disrupted supply chains induced by the border blockade following the earthquake on April 25, 2015.
oShell Food Bar
2016.4.1 – 2019.7.15
The restaurant was launched in April 2015, nestled in a quaint corner of central Kathmandu. This unique eatery redefined dining experiences, featuring an interactive setup where orders were taken, meals were cooked, and dishes were served over the bar, fostering a dynamic connection between customers and the skilled cooks trained to commercial cooking standards. Unfortunately, the venture faced an untimely closure due to an accident involving Chef Jade, prompting the cessation of business operations.
Himal Kimchi
The brand emerged from the creative vision of Chef Jade in late 2019. Inspired to craft a range of bottled kimchi varieties, she began producing them in her own kitchen and distributing them through farmers’ markets and delivery sales channels. Despite the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent blockade, this period unexpectedly provided a favorable opportunity for the nascent brand to thrive. Today, Himal Kimchi has established a business location in Kathmandu, where it continues to expand its offerings beyond kimchi, venturing into a diverse array of preserved and fermented food products.
Partner Project
Five Elements Organic Bastion Pvt. Ltd.
Established in September 2013 by Charlie Baba and Chef Jade, the company focuses on sustainable agricultural practices, emphasizing the organic cultivation of fruit and nut trees, herbal plants, and vegetable gardens to enhance both food supply and profitability. Committed to preserving traditional and alternative farming methods worldwide, they promote an alternative lifestyle philosophy in which nature sustains human needs without the use of chemicals or pesticides. Their mission goes beyond sustainability, aiming to demonstrate the economic viability of organic living. With a global perspective, they cultivate a diverse range of produce — from Pakistani almonds and Israeli apples to Japanese grapes and Korean kaki — while working to counter the decline in traditional herbal medicine cultivation.
