Meet Abdirahim Hassan, the Founder Coffee Afrik CIC an award-winning lived experience-led community organisation working across Hackney and Tower Hamlets that aims to disrupt established systems and works with and for marginalised folk in a number of different ways.

Coffee Afrik is currently leading seven hubs, across 26 projects, which include a problematic drug use safe space for Muslims, a research lab, an award winning youth hub, two women’s hubs led by and for Muslim women, and a systemic litigation space.

Coffee Afrik have just been awarded £1,000,000 to further expand and scale its reach and model. Our work is inspired by everything rooted in Islam, land justice, reimagining public health and the Black Panther party and its community programming. Coffee Afrik is designed with key principles which include love, care and liberatory harm reduction
