Out and About

Tajikistan's first mobile food van
Tajikistan's first mobile food van

Following the success of the training café ‘Dar Yak Zamin’ opened in 2017 to create employment opportunities for young adults with autism, IRODA has continued to look for ways to support young people in preparing for and gaining employment.  Just recently this has led to the social enterprise expanding to open the first ever mobile food van in Tajikistan.  As an extension of the ‘Dar Yak Zamin’ café and catering service the food van is providing additional employment opportunities for young adults with autism and engaging with the community through its mobile service. 

The socioeconomic situation in Tajikistan, in combination with the need for Tajik society to continue to develop an acceptance and appreciation for the skills and abilities of the young adults IRODA supports, results in challenges in gaining employment in the open labour market.  While these barriers exist IRODA is working hard through its social enterprises to provide employment opportunities and engage with the community to change attitudes and systems. 

Thank you for your on-going partnership that supports IRODA to create innovative opportunities such as its new mobile food van.
