Support for People with Disabilities

Published : April 22, 2020

In Yemen, our team met with Malak, a girl born in 2011 without limbs and with several health problems. We decided to enroll her in a private specialised school so that she could access appropriate education. She also received her first artificial hand in March 2019!

Inspired by Malak’s story, we launched the ”Prosthetics of Hope” project in December 2019. The aim is to support other Yemeni disabled people (children or adults) who do not have the chance to receive appropriate care (such as medical treatments, wheelchair or artificial limbs) due to war, poverty and lack of medical resources.

Thanks to Dr. Sharah, we selected 12 patients to benefit from the project.

At the beginning of 2021, we distributed 10 wheelchairs to 10 disabled children to make their life and that of their parents a little easier.

 

This special celebration was more than just raising a cup; it was a journey of discovery, tracing the story that begins with a tiny bean nurtured in fertile mountain soil and ends with a cup that carries joy, inspiration, and community.

 

Under the theme “The Magical Journey… From Bean to Cup,” the event highlighted coffee as a global symbol of unity — a bridge connecting cultures, stories, and people across continents.

 

Each coffee bean represents dedication, craftsmanship, and passion — from the farmer’s care to the barista’s artistry.

 

One of the event’s most memorable moments was the engaging presence of barista and coffee expert Ammar Al-Ahlasi, who filled the room with enthusiasm and the irresistible aroma of freshly brewed coffee.

 

He came not just to serve coffee, but to share knowledge and unveil the secrets behind this enchanting beverage.

 

Ammar emphasized that brewing coffee is both an art and a ritual — from choosing the right grind size to controlling the water temperature and mastering the pouring technique. Every detail matters.

 

Each drop of water that touches the ground extracts not just flavor, but also a story, a feeling, and a sense of connection — creating a cup that nourishes the soul as much as the senses.

 

In closing, the Y30closing, the Y30 Association, in collaboration with the Y30 Institute, affirmed that this event was more than just a celebration — it was a heartfelt tribute to the timeless values that coffee embodies: dedication, creativity, and human connection.

 

Every cup tells a journey — from the earth to the heart — reminding us that coffee is not merely a beverage, but a way of life.
