Baking Up a Better Future

A letter from Pauline

My personal life is a testimony to what happens when you invest in women. I come from a very humble background, similar to that of our bakers. I was born and raised in a slum in Nairobi called Kawangware. Opportunity and access to education has changed the course of both my life and the life of my child. This is the same impact that I see at The Women’s Bakery. The impact is not just for an individual, it is generational.

Whole Woman Programming

At The Women’s Bakery we take pride in the work that our teams do collectively to create lasting social impact. Crucial to these efforts is taking care of our team members through our Whole Woman Programming. While we are not the first to use this concept, we like to think that our unique programming redefines the workplace for women - by women - in a way that inspires others to follow suit.
