We are so excited that WORQ has given us, Coffee For Good project their trust to grow together by operating WORQ Cafe in Glo Damansara!.Hence, we would like to invite you to our first Introduction to Coffee talk plus the opportunity to get to know about what we do (past and future plans) and what impact we would like to make. Also how we could achieve this together as a community.We will have a short Introduction to Coffee SessionSharing on Social Enterprise Session, by Anja Juliah (the only Asian representative to Social Enterprise Forum in Stockholm, Sweeden in April 2016)You might also get the opportunity to explore the WORQ Co-working Space!Coffee and light refreshment will be served.THE COMPANY & THE PROJECTBean Inspired Venture run Coffee for Good project which aims to solve unemployment of underserved youths in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor.We do this by providing them the access to coffee education and barista skills training.THE PROBLEM WE ARE TRYING TO SOLVE.Do you know that currently there are about 40,000 youths in Malaysia who are unemployed? low income and different abilities are some of the factors that contribute to their unemployment. Some other reasons are mis-matched of skills and family issues. Hence our mission is to solve this issues. We also aim to reduce social problems that are caused by unemployment by providing youths with job skills.OUR BENEFICIARIES.Our beneficiaries are youths (16-25 years old) who come from urban poor family (household income less than RM3000), youths with different abilities and also youth at risks. We carefully select our beneficiaries by working closely with Non Profit NGOs, shelter homes and orphanages caretakers.WHY COFFEE & BARISTA SKILLS?The local coffee industry is currently booming. Sadly not many of our local vocational and skills centers are equiped with barista courses to offer to the youths. Hence we have low coffee awareness. Our neighbouring countries are way ahead of us by offering coffee courses in schools and to the public.OUR SOCIAL IMPACTWe aim to provide job placement to underserved; urban poor, at risk & different ability - youths. We hope that by providing them with skills and job opportunities, will produce productive and financially stable youths.www.coffeeforgoodproject.comwww.facebook.com/worq.space/
