SAHHA! KITCHEN
SAHHA!’s Kitchen Project entails, amongst other things, the organization of events and hence, the gathering of people. Because of the COVID-19 Emergency, unfortunately, all of SAHHA! activities and events are suspended until further notice. MWAM hopes the situation will get better soon, and SAHHA! will be back stronger than ever with new delicious menus and amazing events!
Wishing you all good health!
SAHHA! KITCHEN
Many migrant women in Malta possess cooking skills, yet they seek other opportunities to empower themselves and to support their families. The SAHHA project envisions the empowerment of migrant women through a catering project named “SAHHA!”. International, healthy ethnic dishes will be served to the Maltese public, with a cuisine that reflects the different nationalities of the migrant women in Malta.
