Syrians in Rome Transform Hummus Business to Support Migrants and Refugees
HummusTown evolves from a fundraising initiative to a community hub aiding integration and providing employment.
- HummusTown started in 2018 as a humanitarian catering service to raise funds for Syrian families.
- The business now employs 23 staff and offers cooking classes, cultural events, and catering services.
- Each month, food donations are made to the homeless, and significant funds have been raised for earthquake victims in Syria.
- The initiative has expanded to support not only Syrian refugees but also other vulnerable groups, including Italians.
- Participants, like Palestinian refugee Mayyada al-Amrani, find both employment and community within HummusTown.
