“Every morning, the thought of giving up crosses my mind. But when I step into the restaurant and am greeted by the bright smiles and hopeful eyes of the trainees, I’m reminded that I must keep going and try even harder." These are heartfelt words from Jimmy Pham — the founder of KOTO, in his latest interview with CafeBiz.

From a small idea to an organization that has transformed thousands of lives, KOTO has remained steadfast in its mission to empower disadvantaged youth through education and vocational training after 25 years of continuous growth. It has been a challenging journey, but those very challenges have shaped KOTO into a stronger, more resilient social enterprise than ever before.
We sincerely thank Cafebiz for a meaningful interview and for partnering with KOTO along our mission to spread positive values to the community. Together, we are making a difference, one ripple at a time.
