Happy World Down Syndrome Day 💛

Today, we want to celebrate the incredible individuals with an extra chromosome who are part of Mahaba’s family. All of Mahaba’s young people with Down syndrome are uniquely wonderful individuals, bringing love, friendship, joy, and a touch of cheekiness into our lives. ✨

Please read more about ‘Sethu and Rathi’ in the blog post written by our talented volunteer Holly, and discover how Mahaba has played a crucial role in getting her back to her open, bubbly, and happy self.

“The team at Mahaba Café is a second family to us. They are caring, compassionate, and the support they give to my sister and me is life-changing.”

✨ Exciting news from Mahaba!

Our Wednesday lunch pop-up at Ealing Council Perceval House has officially begun 🎉

This initiative has been in the making for quite some time, and we are so happy to finally see it come to life. Every Wednesday we’ll now be serving pre-ordered lunches and snacks at Ealing Council — bringing Mahaba’s food and mission into a new space in our community.

What makes this project even more special for us is that it has created a real employment opportunity for one of our graduates, Rathi, who is now part of the team delivering this initiative. Seeing our learners move from training into meaningful work is exactly what Mahaba is all about 🤍

We’ve worked hard to make this possible, and we’re incredibly proud to see it happening. This is another step towards our goal of creating sustainable employment opportunities for more of our graduates.

A huge thank you to everyone who helped make this happen — and to the team at Ealing Council for supporting this project.

Here’s to many more Wednesdays! ☕🥗

🤔Did you know that in the UK, only about half of working-age individuals with disabilities are employed?

At Mahaba, we are committed to changing this.

Recently, we hosted our first Disability Awareness Training with one of the businesses we work with — creating space for open conversations about disability, autism, and inclusion in the workplace.

Through our training sessions, we support businesses and teams to:
• better understand disability and neurodiversity
• feel more confident working alongside people with disabilities
• challenge assumptions and barriers in the workplace.

If your organisation needs support or would like to learn more, reach out — we’re here to help 🤍

Our learner Molly has great taste ☕👜

She’s rocking our brand new Mahaba tote bag — and of course, she couldn’t resist popping one of our Mahaba coffee bags inside 💫

Good news: we still have a limited number of coffee bags available, so if you’ve been meaning to grab one… this is your sign 👀

Our totes are £12 each — perfect for coffee runs, daily essentials, or carrying a little piece of Mahaba with you 🤍

Molly’s packed her bag with coffee — what would you put in yours? ✨

Do you know the difference between a latte and a cappuccino? ☕️

This week we’ve been learning our menu in a fun, hands-on way:
breaking down each drink, what goes into it, and the milk-to-coffee ratios.

Learning by doing, drawing, and talking it through helps turn theory into real skills they can use when serving customers.

Because confidence starts with understanding 💛
