Our name Mahaba means love in Swahili.
This is all it comes down to, love and respect, for every human being.
Our
Vision
Mahaba Café's team believes in an inclusive world where every individual can have the chance to work and grow.
Mahaba aims to tackle the inequity faced by people with learning disabilities and autism, who often do not have access to meaningful work opportunities. Inspired by successful examples worldwide, Mahaba Café offers a true work setting to help young people with SEND foster independence and pave the way for permanent employment.
Training programme
At Mahaba Café, we strive to provide young people with the skills, knowledge, and experience they need to succeed.
To ensure that each young person is on track, we conduct regular feedback and self-review sessions with job coaches and managers. This approach helps us gauge progress and make any necessary adjustments to the training program.
Our training program is designed to increase confidence and independence in the retail and food service environment. By the end of the program, young learners will have the tools necessary to succeed in their future endeavours.
Unlocking employment
We've initiated a post-trainee 'feeder' initiative called the Unlocking Employment Programme, aimed at providing every graduate with a stepping stone towards secure and rewarding work opportunities after finishing their traineeship.
We are dedicated to supporting our graduates in securing permanent employment. Collaborating with our partners, we aim to ensure a seamless transition for both employers and employees, settling our young people into their next position with ease.
