I have already written an article of how coffee saves lives, but I write again because it’s extraordinary to see how my favorite thing is so good. This article is about how a business was started called “Daughter of Cambodia”, and it’s a cafe dedicated to helping women. Int the article it says, “There’s more than meets the eye at this highly rated cafĂ©, one of several businesses run by faith-based social enterprise, Daughters of Cambodia. Daughters of Cambodia also has a guest house, spas and boutique. The businesses provide vocational training, employment opportunities, daycare, medical treatment, counselling and life-skill classes. Started in 2007 by British psychologist Ruth Elliott, its mission is to help young women and men escape the sex industry by employing them and training them to start new lives. Daughters employs about 200 people, and it has notched a success rate of 98% in helping young people exit the sex industry. They are trained as baristas, servers, chefs, book-keepers and managers. A key factor in the organisation’s success comes from its leaders’ ability to ignite purpose among those who’ve lost theirs.” I find this so aspiring and beautiful. This relates to the houses set up for immigrants to help them get a life started in the united states.
This is so amazing! To see a company take such an interest in helping those effected by the sex industry is truly inspiring.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a good idea! I have a lot of respect for the business for taking such a great step forward.
