The goal of Biryani Wallahs is to give women from vulnerable communities a chance to be financially independent.
PETALING JAYA: For a migrant woman named Nazia, Biryani Wallahs is a string of hope that pulled her out of the darkest times.
It was by pure chance that she stumbled on human rights activist Mahi Ramakrishnan’s Facebook post looking for chefs to join Biryani Wallahs and decided to give a call.Biryani Wallahs is a business that aims to empower women from the refugee and migrant communities as well as B40 families, giving them a chance to be financially independent so that they are able to pay rent, cover their children’s tuition fees and maybe even put aside a little bit of savings.
“I enjoy cooking for Biryani Wallahs a lot. It’s like a routine for me. It might be difficult if you ask me to do other work, but cooking is something that’s already on my mind. I know what I have to do,” she said.
