Due to the high labour requirement, most of the women are being educated and are getting into the workforce, having kids and leaving separately with their families. Most of these working class ladies have housemaids who are untrained and unable to perform duties to the required standards and cultural norms. They also don’t have the knowledge about the cultural and religious values of their masters. The wives are not present in the house to train and mentor these housemaids on how to prepare local cuisines and dishes. This creates a domestic problem in most of the homes within UAE. It is therefore important that these housemaids learn how to cook at reasonable prices and within a short duration of time. It is expected that, as most of the women take up jobs in the UAE, the number of housemaids will increase and the business will continue to grow.
