Kahaila is a church and non-profit café in East London committed to making a positive social impact, working with the most marginalised in society. Out of this commitment, Kahaila has established four different social action projects and currently run three:
Essence – supporting young, female offenders and ex-offenders through personal mentoring and accredited Life Skills courses (from the national youth offending charity Reflex) along with much needed pastoral and practical support within women’s prisons and the community.
Ella’s – providing the only available long term accommodation support and advocacy to sexually exploited and trafficked women in London.
Brew - barista training courses for those who have experienced homelessness.
