WAMA Africa is a social enterprise culinary training restaurant that trains young adults living with special needs and disabilities; be it deaf, mute, blind, physical impairments, certain mental health conditions, intellectual disabilities, or those with albinism. Opened in July 2021, our unique training establishment includes two restaurants, one casual dining and the other fine dining, a conference room, swimming pool, indoor and outdoor garden function space, and an art gallery. We aim to launch our five guest rooms (one which will be accessible for those with limited mobility) and our spa and salon (for training blind candidates) early in 2022. Our vision is, first and foremost, about providing people with special needs an opportunity for rewarding employment and providing them the training needed to take on full time roles such as receptionists, hosts, spa therapists, waiters, kitchen assistants, stewards, room attendants and supervisors. Furthermore, as our training focuses on customer service, we prepare our training candidates to enter the corporate world in customer service rolls spanning many different industries.
