Mitti Cafe- An Inclusion
in Every Served Meal
Mitti Café is a chain of cafes that provide experiential training and
employment to adults with physical, intellectual and psychiatric
disability. It was founded by Alina Alam, as an outreach initiative
to create awareness about inclusivity and disability rights.
With over 16 cafes all over India, hundreds of adults with special
needs have served over 5 million meals in a span of four years.
They are enabling and empowering people with special abilities;
by making them economically independent, confident, and
providing a life of dignity.
Mitti Café is harnessing the abundant
potential of persons with special abilities by
engaging them in productive activities.
