Welcoming refugees. Empowering women. Crafting delicacies. #KaramKitchen
Are you looking for a tangible way to respond to the Syrian refugee crisis?Are you looking to invest in three phenomenal entrepreneurs? Do you want to contribute to a generous community in Hamilton? Do you just like great food? If any of those make you say yes!, we hope you’ll consider supporting Karam Kitchen!
This past year, over 950 Syrian refugees were invited to resettle in Hamilton. Despite having faced the kind of nightmare most of us struggle to conceive of, three of these women, Rawa’a, Dalal, and Manahel, are teaming up with co-founders Brittani and Kim to start a catering company in our area, serving fresh, authentic, deliciously prepared meals. We’re inviting you to learn more and partner with us to make Karam Kitchen a commercial success and a positive model of refugee engagement.
We’ve received incredible support from the Hamilton community and the Planning & Economic Development Department of City Hall. All we need now is funding to take us to market! In addition to fulfilling the perks on the right, we’ll be using the money for:
With your help, we can create a company that helps these three entrepreneurs build a new life in Hamilton, and contributes to our vibrant community. We hope that you’ll consider donating. We look forward to preparing food for you!
While we’ve already come a long way in our business planning, a unique challenge of this business is the language barrier between our chefs and the broader Hamilton community. Your support will allow us to hire a translator as-needed to ensure operations run smoothly.
Any new business faces the challenge of getting the word out. We hope that you’ll help us by ordering our amazing food, and inviting your friends to do likewise!
