At Chase International, we are proud to make a difference in our world by supporting over 1,000 traditional rice farmers in Sri Lanka. Given that more than 3.5 billion people worldwide consume rice—mostly the unhealthy hybrid varieties—the Hela Bima Rice Project and Chase International join forces to grow 2,000-year-old pure, whole varieties of rice with human loving, nature-friendly and sustainable farming practices, using the wisdom of the farmers' ancestors. We support their education, fund schools and build state-of-the-art, eco-friendly rice mills, storage and packaging facilities in these Sri Lankan villages. Since 2011, Chase International has empowered the farmers, their families, children and communities to live healthy, harmonious, abundant lives.
