    The inspiring journey of Chawan: From disability to inclusion

    The beginning of a culinary journey

    Despite holding a diploma in Computer Science, finding a job opportunity in the field proved challenging. Thus, at the age of 24, Chawan launched her cooking enterprise with her older sister, Hero, who is her role model and partner in the cooking project. “I have been in love with cooking ever since I was a child. My older sister, who is 14 years older than me, has been an inspiration. She has trained many people, including myself, to cook and become a good chef. I owe her.”

    The sisters started their business by cooking from home for clients upon request, utilizing social media platforms, as well as their network of friends and relatives, to advertise. They provided meals for schools, kindergartens, hospitals, and social occasions such as weddings, birthdays, and baby showers.

    Chawan later worked as a chef in a private school, preparing daily meals for more than 850 students over four years.

    In the last quarter of 2023, the ICRC-run Physical Rehabilitation Center (PRC) in Erbil sought a cafeteria chef and celebrated the official opening of the cafeteria in November 2023, with Chawan earning the position.
