ABOUT
HerKitchen is a network of social-enterprise kitchens and cafés in Central Vietnam that empower single mothers through culinary arts, hospitality training, and meaningful employment.
Across our locations in Da Nang and Hoi An, HerKitchen spaces operate as welcoming community hubs where guests can enjoy Vietnamese coffee, ancient teas, home-style cuisine, and immersive cultural experiences — all while supporting women rebuilding their lives.
Each HerKitchen site follows a shared philosophy of “learning by doing.” Women receive hands-on training in real service environments, developing professional skills, confidence, and financial independence through daily practice rather than classroom instruction alone.
Today, the HerKitchen network includes café spaces, culinary experience kitchens, and training facilities — all offering a a consistent menu and shared culinary experiences rooted in Vietnamese traditions.
Visitors can do more than just dine or drink — they can participate:
-
Learn to brew Vietnamese phin coffee
-
Discover ancient tea traditions
-
Join hands-on cooking classes
-
Engage with the stories of the women behind each dish
Every purchase directly supports single mothers facing hardship, helping them build sustainable livelihoods and brighter futures for their families.
As the network grows, HerKitchen aims to expand across Vietnam, creating more opportunities for women while sharing authentic Vietnamese food culture with the world.
HerKitchen is not only a place to eat or drink — it is a place to learn, connect, and transform lives.
