Six women chefs, passionate to help and support each other, have joined together to raise money to benefit the non-profit International Society for Better Health (ISBHA) for their school and food security programs.
Tigist Reda, chef/owner of Demera Ethiopian Restaurant , with the support of her friend chef Sarah Stegner, has been spearheading efforts to raise money for the much-needed programs, helping make a difference in the lives of refugee children at the Hasheba refugee camp close to the Ethiopian border in war-torn Sudan. To date, Reda has raised $240,000 with the help of Chicago Chefs Cook and her women chef friends since the inception of the war.
Reda is at it again. She and Christine Cikowski, chef/owner of Honey Butter Fried Chicken; Diana Dávila , chef/owner of Mi Tocaya; Sandra Holl, chef/owner of Floriole Cafe & Bakery; Sandra Pak, chef/owner of Thattu; and Sarah Stegner of Prairie Grass Cafe will join together for a beautiful evening full of flavor, taste, live music and a traditional Ethiopian Coffee Ceremony. The event will take place, 4 pm to 8 pm, Sunday, June 11 at Guild Row, 3130 N Rockwell St, Chicago, IL 60618.
The cost to attend is $75. Those who cannot attend can still contribute. To purchase tickets and make donations, please visit https://givebutter.com/twUHkD .
“Our mission is to provide quality education, empowering these young minds to overcome adversity and build a brighter future,” said Reda. “With generous contributions, we can ensure that the school continues to survive, offering a safe haven for education and personal growth.”
According to ISBHA founder Tegest Hailu, “Our impact goes beyond the classroom. We also recognize the importance of holistic development. By maintaining essential activities such as nutrition programs, healthcare initiatives, and micro-financing opportunities, we empower the community towards self-sufficiency and long-term success.”
