Kyal’s Coffee Kart

Kyal Fairbairn is 33 years old and runs a coffee cart business. Kyal knew from the age of 13 he wanted to run his own business one day and didn’t let his intellectual disability stop him from achieving his goals.

Kyal has always loved a good coffee; he used his goal to run a business and love of coffee to open Kyal’s Coffee Kart. It has been a huge success and has just celebrated its 3rd anniversary.

Kyal loves being his own boss. This gives him the ability to choose which events he works and who he employs. The job allows him to interact and make coffee for the community, chatting with customers and meeting new people is one of the best parts of his job.
