SAHHA Crowdfunding Campaign.
The Migrant Women Association Malta (MWAM) have a unique opportunity to operate a commercial kitchen under the SAHHA initiative, creating full-time jobs for at least two migrant women in the hospitality sector. This project offers financial independence, career development, and social inclusion for migrant women who face various challenges in accessing the labor market in Malta.
SAHHA has previously engaged over 250 women providing specialised training to enhance their professional culinary skills. SAHHA not only empowers women to access the hospitality sector, it also cultivates a space for connecting, collaborating and growing.
To ensure a successful start to the project they need financial support to cover critical expenses, thus seeking €6500 to support the preliminary set-up of our kitchen and sustain our first 3 months of operation. This money will go towards:
- Providing fair wages to at least two migrant women
- Insurance and permit costs
- Essential kitchen supplies, stock and operating expenses
- Cashless payment system
- Staff uniforms
Every donation, big or small, brings a step closer towards achieving this goal. Your support will contribute towards creating a sustainable income stream, and support migrant women.
