Mansura is a mother of a 7-year-old boy. She is a trainee chef in Houria’s first FOODWISE programme cohort. 🍳 "When I am with other women at Houria, I feel comfortable because I am not lonely," said Mansura. 💞

Mansura struggled with adapting to the food in the UK when she first arrived in this new country in 2015. But now, she has learnt much more about the diversity of food and started to appreciate various cuisine from other cultures. 🥣 Yet, traditional food from home remains to be her favourite, as it is closest to her heart and rooted with memories. 💭
