A day we’ll never forget.
We were recently invited to the United Nations to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the CRPD (Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities), a landmark framework that has shaped how the world thinks about inclusion, dignity, and equal rights.
And at the heart of it: Safia 💛
Our crew member shared what inclusive employment looks like from the inside:
“The best thing about the café is that it is a very supportive place where everyone is friendly and helps each other out. I have a very happy and full life, and I’m really able to do whatever I want, even though I have a disability.”
That’s what we show up for every single day.
Café Joyeux currently employs 221 crew members with IDD across 35 cafés around the world. And we’re just getting started ☕️☀️
