OKV CAFE | SUPPORT LOCAL HEALTHY & AFFORDABLE OPTIONS

The OKV cafe is a social eco-sustainable space that gives those wanting to start their own food business the opportunity to do so but without the financial risks involved when doing so in a traditional commercial environment.  It is a shared economy model where assets are provided by the OKV and shared by it's users coupled with onsite business support & advice to help them gain the best start to success.  ​

The benefits for the community in return are that families experiencing food insecurity gain dignified access to affordable nutritious food in their neighborhood.  It also recognizes that the 'Social' is a vital part of the change process and that food is a powerful connector and catalyst to expanding wider social, economic and cultural opportunities for individuals, families and communities.
