Stories
Our work in East Africa since 2014 has improved the economies, health and abilities of the women we've served.
Through the power of a loaf of bread, stories of empowered women are being written. May these stories continue to show the power of bread and the power of women.
Stronger together
For the first time, The Women’s Bakery teamed up with a partner organization to open our first franchise.
This partnership utilized the local organization’s relationships to jump-start the process of identifying resources and reaching out to women. It was also a great test of our bakery training and management model.
The results have been delicious!
