Our Purpose

Beit e'Shai

Our Purpose

Our purpose as a social enterprise includes the following: 

  • We Pay The Rent to the traditional owners of the lands on which we live, work & create in Narrm (Melbourne); the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung and neighbouring Boonwurrung Peoples of the Kulin Nation. And we support First Nations peoples self-determination.
  • We care deeply for people and for the planet, through sustainable practices and ethical sourcing of our organic ingredients, and source from local farms where possible. 
  • We create employment opportunities for people living in the diaspora, with experiences of movement, migration and displacement.
  • We promote resilient local food systems and food sovereignty, and preserve our ancestral knowledge. We share herbal medicine practices from Palestine & the SWANA region.

Join us in making a positive change over a soulful cuppa tea!
