Dear supporter,
Thanks to your support, the vision of JoodKITCHEN—a social restaurant dedicated to the social and professional reintegration of people experiencing homelessness—is gradually becoming a reality.
The development and renovation works for the restaurant have already begun, marking an important milestone for the project. As the works progressed, we encountered a few administrative procedures that temporarily slowed down the pace of the construction. We are happy to share that these challenges have now been resolved, allowing the works to continue and move forward again.
Little by little, this space is taking shape as more than just a restaurant. JoodKITCHEN will be a place of opportunity and dignity, where vulnerable individuals will receive practical training in cooking and hospitality, rebuild confidence, and access new pathways toward professional reintegration.
If progress continues as planned, we are aiming for an opening by the end of 2026.
Your support means a great deal to us. By continuing to share and talk about this project, you help us expand the impact of a mission built on solidarity, dignity, and second chances.
Thank you for being part of this journey.
