Mitti Café is an award-winning non-profit organization started by a Kolkata girl, Alina Alam. Mitti runs a chain of cafes managed completely by adults with physical and intellectual disabilities. Here is a video of Mitti’s work.
Their warriors with disabilities in this pandemic have cooked and served over 2 million meals to the poor and vulnerable communities and homeless groups, thereby proving the magic of abilities as a result of economic independence and dignity.
With this being the first time in the world that persons with disabilities are not only supporting themselves but are also serving the nation in need in the Covid crises, we would be extremely grateful if you could help us highlight this and enable us to create awareness about inclusion.
This would send out a heartwarming message to your readers/viewers about the magic in abilities of specially-abled adults.
Kindly watch this video to get an idea about Covid relief work by Mitti’s specially-abled warriors.
Mitti’s specially-abled team members are serving meals every day to hospital healthcare workers, poor covid patients, to daily wage-earning families and families of sex workers in Sonagachi who have lost all means to livelihood and to the homeless in Kolkata, Sunderbans, and Bangalore.
Everyday Mitti’s specially abled team members are cooking and serving over 5000 meals to the most needy, thereby showing the magic of abilities and empowerment with every meal served.
In the short span, Mitti has been featured in the Forbes list of 30 under 30, is a Commonwealth Youth Awarded, and has won awards like the NCPEDP Mindtree Helen Keller Award, Times of India-She Unlimited Award, Rotary Exemplar award, Microsoft Nipman Award, Tiecon Young female Entrepreneur of the Year Award amongst others.
