Thanks to the support of Tooba users, we were able to continue regular activities at the Life Route Foundation’s Culinary Workshop, attended by 31 adults with mental disabilities. The funds raised were used to purchase ingredients for practical cooking sessions and to cover 90 hours of work by a support worker.

During the sessions, participants prepared different dishes, tried new recipes, and practiced the entire cooking process: preparing ingredients and their workspaces, using kitchen equipment, following step-by-step instructions and safety rules, and cleaning up afterwards.

The support worker helped participants take part in the process as independently as possible: breaking tasks down into clear steps, helping them learn to use kitchen equipment, and supporting communication within the group. Through regular practice, participants developed everyday and social skills, learned to make choices and work together, and became more confident and independent in the kitchen.

Thank you to everyone on Tooba who supported our Culinary Workshop and made these sessions possible!

About the campaign

Support a culinary workshop for people with disabilities – we purchase products and supplies for classes

In our cooking workshop, adults with intellectual disabilities learn to cook—not just simple meals, but real culinary masterpieces! They choose recipes themselves, master new techniques, experiment, and celebrate every success.

For example, we recently learned how to make fruit marshmallows. It turned out to be quite a challenge! It required dexterity in some steps and patience in others. But in the end, everything worked out perfectly.

We want even more discoveries and joyful moments like this! And for that, we need your support. To help our participants bring their new ideas to life, we are launching this fundraiser. The funds raised will be used to purchase ingredients and supplies for our workshop sessions, as well as payment for the work of the accompanying social worker.

Every contribution you make is not just about food—it’s about new skills, confidence, and the joy of creativity for our chefs. Support the workshop!
