Café Down is a coffee and bakery store in Ankara, Turkey. Since February 2001, it is reducing social inequalities between mentally disabled people and nondisabled ones. The café is ran by workers with down syndrome, who work as waiters, waitresses, cleaners, hostelers, pageboys and baristas. Currently, there are 12 men and 16 women workers with down syndrome (they work in double shifts, a day). The aim of this business is to bring mentally disabled individuals, who are under the protection of the Ministry of Family Labour and Social Policies, into social life as productive individuals. This business was established and run by the three entrepreneurs who are associated with the Saray Engelsiz Yasam (Saray Nonhandicapped Living) social organization. It is a rehabilitation center for disabled people in the city, and it is an initiative of the Ministry. This rehabilitation center is a social service organization that serves mentally and physically inadequate children, young people and adults. It provides professionals such as teachers, trainers, and mentally disabled youths to the Café. The Centre and Business are in a partnership, but both sides do not get any benefit.
