VISION OF KAIO//

Kaio is a coffeehouse and clothing shop created for young people. It is located in downtown Perth . The name is a Greek word which means “to light” or “to burn”. The heart of this ministry is to be a righteous light to reach this generation!


So, why a coffeehouse and clothing shop? Food and relationships are the ways to reach youth these days! Young people tend to seek support in a community context. The coffeehouse creates a safe, dynamic, and non-threatening environment which appeals to youth. A coffeehouse provides a central spot for young people to come and hang out, and for our staff to build ongoing relationships and encourage them. The menu is catered to young people’s taste and the décor is an urban style atmosphere.

CLOTHING SHOP//

Fashion is a major way young people express who they are today. Through the clothing shop we are implementing one of our biggest values of 'championing the potential of young people'. We are giving young, local designers an opportunity to display and sell their work through Kaio! We see this as a platform to encourage young designers in their talent and help them to grow and develop it. Besides that, a retail shop is a major tool in drawing in different youth sub-cultures to Kaio.



ACTIVITIES//

Through Kaio, we hope to facilitate many activities in various streams of youth culture. Our desire in all that we do is to see young people discover their God given identity and destiny!
