Café One
A community café

Café One is the first community café of its kind founded in Sentul, Kuala Lumpur.  We are community based; we employ and empower underserved individuals from the surrounding neighborhood, who are inexperienced, unemployed and poor to run a café successfully.  We have a life coach, Ms Sharmini Hensen to train and coach them to change their mindset and habit, to succeed at what they do.  One team is made of struggling single mothers, school dropouts, students who have to work part time to supplement their families income. Some of our team members are on welfare and illiterate. The opportunity we give them at Café One is to lift them out of poverty by empowering them with skills and a successful mindset.  We operate from values of love, respect, honesty and gratitude. One Team is proudly Malaysian. Our team members are Malay, Chinese and Indian leveraging on each others strengths and working together harmoniously.

Cafe One History

Cafe One was one of my best and proudest achievements. I had to let go of Cafe One as it was taking up too much of my time away from my first passion, coaching. I thank all the people who made Cafe One come alive and shine while it existed. It made a lasting difference to them and me. This page is a tribute to them with love and appreciation for making a dream come true.
