Social entrepreneurship
We started 2 social businesses: MAMA 1 bakery and Horizontal coffee shop . The idea of creating a social business came to us a long time ago. Back in Makiivka, we were building a small farm next to the shelter. When the organization moved to Dnipro, we decided to implement more global plans for ourselves.
First, as part of the Rukavychka shelter, we built a bakery . The main idea was to create conditions for teaching baking to women who lived with children in the shelter, so that they would have income and self-respect. Bakery MAMA 1 - Not one, but the first , started working in 2017. We sold products through the website, social networks and partners. By 2024, the project will operate at 50% only for online orders or for special events.
In 2019, we opened a coffee shop. It was a project that we really wanted to make sincere and socially active. The concept was a completely ordinary coffee shop with specialty coffee that donated 100% of the profits to the organization's social programs. In 2024, we closed the coffee shop, but the project itself moved in a simplified form to the premises of youth activities.
