EP 8: Building a Giveback Side Gig, Day by De
On this episode, I’m joined by Andy, Ben and Narendra of Day by De. This giveback side gig provides “farm to family” solutions in impoverished communities in Zambia. They’re a group of talented, driven guys who started a non-profit on top of their already busy professional schedules.
They focus on building schools, gardens and chicken farms to help offset the economic disparity in rural Zambia. Together, these projects have helped over 3,000 Zambians to date with a goal of helping many more in the years to come. Outside of their work with Day by De we hit a range of topics including goat wrestling, how much smarter Ben is than me (hint, it’s a lot) and the challenges of working within subcultures in one country.
True to the Armed & Gen framework, these guys are using their 9-5 skills to bring about change to those in need. Narendra is an entrepreneur and is involved in real estate which translates into an unstructured, nonprofit world where he’s standing up projects without any guidelines given to him. Andy is a commercial photographer who brings his creative skills to the table to bring the brand to life. And Ben is an environmental engineer who helps oversee the project work and operates as a jack of all trades for the organization.
They combine to create a dream team who provides 300-700 chickens per community and help build schools as well, with a goal of a sustainable business model. Their aim is to do 3-5 of these projects per year and they can’t do it alone. To learn more about Day by De and to donate to help support a project, visit the official site and follow on Facebook. Now to work on some goat wresting moves...
